All these matters are inextricably interconnected with each other and hence all these matters are heard together and disposed of by this common judgment. 2. For the sake of convenience and easy reference, the appellants in the writ appeals and the petitioners in the writ petitions are hereinafter be referred to as 'petitioners' and the Management of Air India and other officials of Air India are commonly referred to as the 'respondent-Management'. 3. The case of the petitioners is that the respondent Management operates international flights and several flights of Air India originate or transit through Madras Airport and a number of workers are employed by Air India in the catering department for the purpose of cleaning the seats in the aircrafts, arranging the blankets and removing the wastages inside the aircraft etc. and for this purpose, Air India was engaging workmen on daily rated basis for a period of 90 days and terminating them from service thereafter; that in the vacancies so caused, once again Air India calls for applications from the Employment Exchange and again engages them for 90 days and thus repeats the same process. The petitioners would submit that the work requirement for Air India is one of permanent and perennial nature and Air India engages workmen for short durations to deny them the benefit of permanency and other consequential benefits. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 4.
