New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday issues notices to Air India management and the Centre and asked them to reply to a plea of the striking pilots on their unpaid salaries and other benefits.
The court directed the Centre and the management of the national carrier to file their reply on the matter within a week.
It made the direction while hearing a petition filed by Capt. Sumeer Saini and other pilots.
Senior advocate Pinki Anand, who appeared for the pilots, said the salaries of around 450 pilots are due to be paid.
