Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals against the Delhi High Court's orders regarding the maintainability of a miscellaneous application after the disposal of writ petitions. The Court held that the High Court erred in ruling that the application was not maintainable, emphasizing that the appellants, who were employees of Vayudoot absorbed into Indian Airlines, had legitimate claims for promotion and integration based on their prior service. The Court ultimately set aside the High Court's orders, reinstating the Single Judge's decision.
