New Delhi: A plea of 10 senior engineers of Jet Lite alleging discrimination by the airline in selection of candidates for a training programme of Jet Airways has been dismissed by a Delhi court which said both the airlines are "separate entities" and there is "no contractual obligation" to train them.
The court, while dismissing the aircraft maintenance engineers' application seeking direction to the airlines to withdraw the list of selected Jet Airways candidates for the training programme, said, "Prima facie there did not exist any contractual obligation of Jet Lite to necessarily train the plaintiffs for maintaining the aircraft acquired by Jet Airways."
The application had contended that the engineers, who were employed by Sahara Airlines, had joined Jet Lite India Ltd and had been seconded to Jet Airways India Ltd with effect from August 19, 2008.
It had also averred that the conditions of employment which were with Sahara Airlines Ltd were retained without much change after Jet Group of Companies had bought its shares.
The senior engineers had alleged discrimination by Jet Lite as their nominations were not considered for training and their junior counterparts in Jet Airways were selected despite it being on seniority basis.
