The Delhi High Court Tuesday sought Air India’s reply on a plea by several pilots challenging the national carrier’s decision to terminate their services with effect from August 13.
Justice Jyoti Singh issued a notice to Air India and sought its stand on the fresh batch of petitions by four pilots who have challenged the airline’s August 13 order terminating their services.
Air India had earlier terminated services of more than 40 other pilots.
The court also orally asked the national carrier to stay its hands, with regard to seeking surrender of the identity cards and other documents of the four pilots, till Wednesday when an earlier batch of similar pleas by other Air India pilots would be heard.
