The Supreme Court has dismissed the petition by KAL Airways and its founder, Kalanithi Maran, for Rs 1,300 crore in damages from SpiceJet, resolving a drawn-out share transfer conflict.

Upholding the Delhi High Court's May 23 ruling, the apex court attributed its decision to procedural delays from the former SpiceJet promoters in pursuing their appeal.

The dispute stems from a 2015 transaction where Maran and his airline claimed SpiceJet failed to fulfill agreements related to convertible warrants and shares despite a significant payment, leading to legal battles and court arbitration.
