SEOUL， Feb. 22 (Xinhua) -- A South Korean court rejected an arrest warrant early Wednesday for a former senior aide to impeached President Park Geun-hye who is suspected of assisting， or at least conniving at， intervention by Park's longtime confidante Choi Soon-sil into state affairs.
Special prosecutors investigating the corruption scandal embroiling President Park requested a warrant on Sunday to detain Woo Byung-woo， former senior presidential secretary for civil affairs tasked with inspecting government officials over corruption and overseeing prosecutorial and intelligence agencies.
A judge at the Seoul Central District Court dismissed the request， saying a room remained for conflicts of legality and that there wasn't enough justification to take him into custody.
The arrest warrant for Woo was sought on multiple charges， including abuse of power and dereliction of duty， but Woo has denied the charges， saying he just obeyed the president's orders without knowing who the Choi Soon-sil was.
His denial has been considered a blazing lie as his post in the presidential office monitors possible corruptions by public officers， verifies the suitability of nominees for major government positions and oversees police， intelligence and prosecutorial agencies.
It is alleged that his mother-in-law and Choi have maintained close relationship for long， and that his promotion to the senior presidential secretary was influenced by Choi.
Woo is suspected of demoting senior government officials in the culture and sports ministry who are unflattering to Choi， Park's decades-long friend who is at the center of the influence-peddling scandal.
He is alleged to have abused his power to obstruct investigation into the 2014 ferry-sinking disaster that claimed lives of 304 passengers， mostly high school students on a school trip to the southern resort island of Jeju.
The career prosecutor may not be responsible for the tragic disaster， but he is accused of trying to influence state prosecutors' probe into the coast guard to protect President Park， who had apparently been missing for the first seven hours when the passenger ferry Sewol was sinking.
Woo is also suspected of neglecting his duty by conniving at Choi's intervention in state affairs behind the scenes and trying to covering up the scandal until he resigns as the senior presidential secretary in late October last year.
NEW DELHI， March 28 (Xinhua) -- An airline in India Tuesday again cancelled a legislator's ticket saying its stand on him remains unchanged following his assault on one of its staffer last week at New Delhi airport.
The state-owned carrier Air India cancelled legislator Ravindra Gaikwad's ticket for the Mumbai-Delhi flight scheduled for Wednesday morning.
"Our stand remains the same. We have cancelled his ticket for the flight scheduled for departure from the Mumbai airport tomorrow morning，" Air India spokesperson told media. "We have issued directions to all our regional staff to check if he has booked more tickets."
Last week Air India grounded the legislator from right-wing Shiv Sena for abusing and assaulting a 60-year-old manager. Gaikwad boasted beating the airline employee with a slipper 25 times.
Reports said the lawmaker lost his temper after being told he could not fly business class on the Pune to Delhi flight because it was an all-economy flight.
The spokesman said airline will enter his name in the online ticketing system so that whenever he tries to book a ticket， their staff should get a notification.
Following his assault Air India filed a complaint after which Gaikwad was banned on all flights operated by the Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA). Gaikwad following his assault had to return to his home city， Pune， by train.
Sena has its base in Maharashtra and its activists promoting religious and ethnic chauvinism often resort to violence and threats to enforce their diktats.
The Shiv Sena party is a junior coalition partner in the Maharashtra local government， which is governed by India's ruling Bhartiya Janta Party.
On Monday， Shiv Sena legislators created an uproar in the lower house of Indian parliament (locally called Lok Sabha)， demanding the lifting of the airlines' ban on Gaikwad. However， federal civil aviation minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju told parliament that violence of any kind on an aircraft could prove disastrous.
