Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning the merger of Vayudoot with Indian Airlines, challenging the Delhi High Court's decision that quashed the merger policy affecting seniority of employees. The Court held that the merger must respect the principles established in Chanderkant Anant Kulkarni's case, emphasizing fair assessment of employee seniority. The judgment of the Division Bench was upheld, thereby dismissing the appeals of the Indian Airlines employees and affirming the need for a revised policy on cadre merger.
