Salome Sinosit an air hostess has moved to Supreme Court of India for directions to the company to take her back because her contract was not renewed by an Air India subsidiary on the grounds that she has become overweight.
Petitioner Salome Sinosit, 39, was an airhostess in Airline Allied Services Limited, a subsidiary of Air India.
She contended that anybody becoming an overweight cannot be a ground for termination of contract as the weight can be reduced.
She also pleaded that the termination of her contract by the company violates civil and human rights as it was rescinded without any valid reason and also without giving any opportunity to bring down her weight within the prescribed limit.
