New Delhi: The Delhi High Court has dismissed a petition filed by the Indian Airlines challenging a single judge order directing it to pay the arrears of an air-hostess who was grounded for being overweight.
A bench of Chief Justice M K Sharma and Justice Hema Kohli last week dismissed the petition, saying a similar petition was pending before the court of Justice J M Malik and the bench would not hear it.
The Indian Airlines, in its petition, had questioned the jurisdiction of the High Court as the air-hostess, Anne Patricia Dyook, was posted in Hyderabad, when she was grounded. "The single-judge without having jurisdiction passed the order to pay arrears to Dyook, which is illegal," it alleged while seeking the court's intervention to set aside the order.
Dyook's counsel Arvind K Sharma, however, argued that she was on and often grounded by the company for being overweight during 2003 and 2006.
