AIR INDIA CABIN CREW ASSOCIATION vs YESHAWINEE MERCHANT .

The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's ruling that the retirement age of Air India air hostesses at 50 years, with an option for ground duties until 58, violated Articles 14, 15, and 16 of the Constitution and Section 5 of the Equal Remuneration Act, 1976. The Court affirmed the High Court's directives for Air India to allow air hostesses to fly until 58, pay differential salaries, and amend standing orders accordingly. The judgment reinforced the principle of non-discrimination in employment based on sex.
