The Supreme Court in Mr. R.S. Madireddy and Anr. vs. Union of India &Ors. (2024 INSC 425), dismissed the plea of ex-employees to file a writ petition against Air India, which had transitioned from a government airline to a private company and ceased performing public functions. The Court held that once a government entity is privatized, it no longer falls under the purview of Article 226 of the Constitution of India for writ jurisdiction. The ruling clarified that while the employees were not denied justice, they would need to seek recourse through alternative legal avenues beyond the High Court for their grievances.
