OM PARKASH BATISH vs RANJIT @ RANBIR KAUR .

The Supreme Court addressed whether a casual employee, appointed for a limited period, qualifies as a 'workman' under Section 2(n) of the Workmen Compensation Act, 1923. The Court held that the deceased, Ram Lal, was not a workman under the appellant as he was not employed at the time of the accident, which occurred at a different location than claimed. Consequently, the appeal against the Workmen Compensation Commissioner's decision was dismissed, affirming that the application was not maintainable.
