The Supreme Court on Friday came down heavily on national carrier Air India for repeatedly seeking adjournments in a case involving pay and related matters of pilots and cabin crew.
The apex court was angry after the lawyer representing the petitioners (pilots and cabin crew) said that Air India has sought 21 adjournments citing Attorney General (AG) Mukul Rohatgi's absence.
"Air India should not do this. They have taken twenty-one adjournments. They have taken adjournments in Mr. Rohatgi's name," the petitioners' lawyer said.
This prompted the court to strongly criticise the state-run carrier. "You say you don't want to delay the matter, but you are. If learned AG cannot appear, put your house in order," Justices Rohinton Nariman said, according to Bar and Bench.
The case is being heard by a two-judge bench comprising Justices Kurian Joseph and Rohinton Nariman.
