Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of appeals by air hostesses regarding their termination for not maintaining prescribed body weight limits as per their appointment conditions. The Court emphasized that the condition was a consensual part of their contract and that previous concessions did not create a legal right to continue those indulgences. The Court noted that 11 out of 13 appellants had already complied with the weight norms during the proceedings, rendering the appeals moot.
