Mumbai Criticizing Jet Airways for prematurely approaching the Bombay High Court in the presence of an alternative remedy, the High Court directed the airline’s office-bearers to pay Rs 30,000 as penalty.
The High Court was hearing a set of petitions filed by Jet Airways challenging an order of a magistrate court in Vikhroli who directed that investigations pertaining to allegations of breach of trust be continued.
The court ruled in favour of the company, noting the dispute involved was a civil one and said the “basic ingredients of entrustment and breach of trust are missing.” However, even as the court granted the applicants the reprieve, it came down heavily on them for not approaching the Sessions Court and not resolving the case at that level.
“Just as the rich eat up and encroach upon all natural and other resources at the cost of the poor and the needy, the applicants have encroached upon the scarce judicial time to which those languishing in jails for years were entitled,” Justice R C Chavan said.
