INDIAN AIRLINES LTD. vs PRABHA D. KANAN

The Supreme Court examined the constitutionality of Regulation 13 of the Indian Airlines (Flying Crew) Service Regulations, which allows termination of employment without prior notice or reason under certain conditions. The Court held that such provisions must align with principles of natural justice and cannot be arbitrary, emphasizing the need for a fair procedure in employment termination. The judgment affirmed the High Court's decision, ruling that the regulation is valid but must be applied in a manner consistent with the rights of employees under the law.
