INDIAN AIRLINES LTD. vs RAMAN DOULAGAR

The Supreme Court, under Article 139-A(2) of the Constitution, granted the transfer of Writ Petition (Civil) No. 3992 of 2006 from the Madras High Court to the Delhi High Court, emphasizing the need to avoid conflicting decisions on similar issues. The Court noted that the prayers in both petitions were conceptually identical, and the matter was settled by the precedent in Regional Provident Fund Commissioner, Mangalore v. Central Arecanut & Coca Marketing and Processing Coop. Ltd., Mangalore [2006(2) SCC 381]. The Court held that the transfer was necessary to ensure consistency in judicial decisions regarding seniority lists of pilots.
