CHENNAI: The Madras high court has restrained Air India and the civil aviation ministry from evicting employees of the airline from the accommodation provided to them by the company or discontinue the medical benefits currently extended to them.
Justice V Parthiban passed the interim order while admitting a plea moved by Air Corporation Employees’ Union – an association of employees of Air India.
The association also wanted the court to restrain the ministry from proceeding further with the process of disinvestment of Air India Limited in any manner without taking appropriate measures to protect the terms and conditions of their service and rights.
This apart, the association wanted the government to disclose the contents of the share purchase agreement entered into with Talace Private Ltd – a special purpose vehicle (SPV) of Tata Sons Limited.
