Kingfisher asked to return parts leased from Lufthansa Technik

New Delhi, Sep 28 (PTI) The Delhi High court has directed
Kingfisher Airlines to return all components leased out to it
by Lufthansa Technik India following a petition by the latter
that the carrier was using them even after it breached an
obligation to make timely payments.

A single member bench of Justice S N Dhingra directed
Kingfisher Airlines to make an inventory of all components
leased out to it by Lufthansa Technik while receiving
technical support for its fleet.

"An inventory of the home based components (those used in
maintenance, overhaul and repair) leased out by Lufthansa
Technik to Kingfisher Airlines under the agreement in question
be prepared," Justice Dhingra said while passing an interim
order.

In its petition Lufthansa Technik said Kingfisher
terminated the agreement on August 18.

Lufthansa Technik India also alleged that Kingfisher
Airlines "breached its obligation to make timely payment to it
as per terms and agreement".

According to the company, Kingfisher has not paid dues of
Rs 1.7 crore for the months of July, August and September this
year despite enjoying technical support.
