Vijay S. Sathaye vs Indian Airlines Ltd. & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the petitioner's claim for voluntary retirement under the Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS) of Indian Airlines, emphasizing the necessity of compliance with Regulation 12(b) which mandates a three months' notice prior to retirement. The Court found that the petitioner failed to adhere to this requirement, as he did not attend duty after the intended retirement date and his application was rejected by the respondents. Consequently, the Court affirmed the High Court's decision, ruling that the petitioner's claims were without merit.
