SC refuses to intervene in Air India stir, Govt asks pilots to return

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday refused to intervene in the stir by a section of Air India pilots even as Government offered to hold talks with them if they returned to work after their standoff entered the fourth day.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was also briefed about the fresh crisis in the cash-strapped state-owned carrier by Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh, as the stir led to cancellation of 12 international flights on Friday putting hundreds of passengers to hardship in the holiday season.
Ajit Singh while appealing to the striking pilots to end their stir and seeking their cooperation ruled out imposing provisions of Essential Services Maintenance Act(ESMA) on them.
