Indian airline GoAir is suing its former CEO over alleged data theft.
Wolfgang Prock-Schauer left the carrier earlier this year to join rival IndiGo as chief operating officer.
GoAir filed the lawsuit in the Mumbai High Court but specifics of the complaint have not been disclosed.
GoAir is seeking a restraining order against Prock-Schauer disclosing any confidential information or poaching any current employees.
"IndiGo has been made aware of the court proceedings brought by GoAir against Wolfgang Prock-Schauer; these concern allegations that predate his employment by IndiGo. We have no involvement in this case, thus IndiGo has no further comment to make," IndiGo said in a statement.
Prock-Schauer became CEO of GoAir in June 2015 and previously served as CEO at Jet Airways.
Prock-Schauer’s lawyer Janak Dwarkadas said the two parties were close to a settlement at a previous court hearing but now GoAir is digging in for a court battle and the case will be heard again in the summer.
