Ltd, a division bench of Satish Chandra Sharma, CJ., and Subramonium Prasad, J., disposed of the petition as there is no foreign investment as of today, thus, the prayers made in the writ petition have become purely academic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">It is the contention of the Petitioner that the said decision is contrary to the Foreign Direct Investment Policy (FDI) Policy of the Government of India and contrary to the guidelines laid down by the Nodal Ministry, i.e., the Union Ministry of Civil Aviation (respondent 3) which does not permit foreign investment by a foreign airline and is also in the teeth of the objections by the Nodal Ministry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">It was stated that various revisions took place and as of March, 2019, the shareholding of AirAsia Pvt. Ltd. revised with Tata Sons Ltd. obtaining 51% and AirAsia Investment Ltd. holding 49%. The shareholding structure of Air Asia (India) Pvt. Ltd. was again revised in December, 2020, as a result of which Tata Sons Ltd held 83.67% and AirAsia Investment Ltd held 16.33%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">It was further stated that pursuant to the regulatory approvals of the Competition Commission of India (CCI) dated 14-06-2022 and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation approval dated 06-07-2022, the shareholding of AirAsia (India) Pvt. Ltd. was revised, and AirAsia (India) Pvt.
