The Supreme Court has refused to step in and stay the new seat sharing agreement inked between India and the United Arab Emirates, which Subramanian Swamy had alleged was done in order to favour the Jet-Etihad deal.

Swamy, who had filed a PIL in 2013, had also alleged that the seat sharing agreement was against public interest as it involved wastage of public resources.

According to the apex court, it cannot interfere in policy decisions. However, it will listen to Swamy’s plea in August.
