Air India on August 26 told the Delhi HC that once a pilot tenders their resignation, the legal relationship of an employer-employee comes to an end with it and the resignation cannot be withdrawn subsequently.

“The moment you tender resignation, the de jure relationship ends. The jural relationship ends. Resignation is only given de facto prospective effect (after six months) so that the passengers are not left in a lurch,” Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing Air India said.
