The Delhi High Court has restrained over 200 agitating Air India pilots from continuing their illegal strike, reporting sick and staging demonstrations.

The pilots, under the banner of Indian Pilots Guild, IPG are agitating over the rescheduling of Boeing 787 Dreamliner training and matters relating to their career progression.

Justice Reva Khetrapal yesterday issued a notice to the IPG and asked them to reply to a plea of Air India management seeking the court's intervention and also a restraint order against the striking pilots.

The judge also said allowing such a strike to continue would cause irreparable loss to the company as well as huge inconvenience to the passengers travelling by the national carrier.

The court has fixed July 13 as the next date of hearing. Meanwhile, Air India management yesterday sacked 10 more pilots.
