The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a lawsuit by over 1,600 Mumbai airport workers seeking a stay on their transfer outside the metropolis to small airports following takeover of the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport by the Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL).

A bench of Justices B N Aggrawal and G S Singhvi dismissed the petition after hearing various parties, including the Airports Authority of India (AAI), MIAL and Mumbai airport workers.
