Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Delhi High Court's Division Bench which set aside the Single Judge's ruling that quashed the merger policy of Indian Airlines and Vayudoot employees. The Court emphasized that the merger process must consider the seniority and rights of existing employees, as established in the case of Chanderkant Anant Kulkarni. The appeals by the Indian Airlines employees' associations were dismissed, affirming the Division Bench's judgment allowing the merger as per the original notifications issued under the Air Corporations Act, 1953.
