CHAIRMAN & MANG.DIR., INDIAN AIRLINES vs BINOD KUMAR SINHA

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of Regulation 13(b) of the Indian Airlines Employees (Aircraft Engineering Department) Service Regulations, 1959, which mandates a six-month notice period for resignation. The Court found that the High Court failed to consider the challenge to the validity of this regulation adequately, leading to the quashing of the regulation without proper reasoning. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and remanded the matter for reconsideration, emphasizing the need for a thorough examination of the regulation's legality under the Air Corporations Act, 1953.
