The Delhi High Court on Monday issued contempt notices to nine sacked office bearers of the Indian Commercial Pilots Association for disobeying its order to call-off the on-going strike in Air India, which entered the seventh day.
"Issue notice to the nine office bearers of the ICPA and renotify the matter on May 25," a division bench headed by Justice B D Ahmed said.
The bench, which heard the matter thrice during the day, said: "These pilots do not understand the gravity of being prosecuted for the contempt of court."
The bench said: "All nine person shall remain present in the court on the next date of hearing" and gave them two weeks' time to respond to the contempt notices.
