Former Akasa Air pilots challenged the maintainability of lawsuits filed against them before the Bombay HC for not fulfilling their notice period requirements per their employment contract. Pilots have argued that since the contracts were not executed in Mumbai, the Bombay High Court was not the right court to proceed with the dispute.
Pilots argued that a suit in the HC is not maintainable since the contracts were neither performed nor executed in Mumbai.
On Wednesday, Justice SM Modak said that the actions rose within its jurisdiction as resignations were accepted by the company in Mumbai.
Akasa is seeking significant compensation, reaching crores of rupees, from pilots who left the airline before completing a mandatory notice period. It has cited “operational losses” and damage to the airline’s reputation due to the flight cancellations resulting from their premature departures.
