Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court is examining whether the appellant qualifies as a 'workman' under Section 2(s) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The case involves a challenge to a High Court judgment that set aside a Labour Court's order, which had declared the termination of the appellant illegal and directed reappointment with back wages. The Court's decision hinges on the interpretation of the 'workman' definition and the validity of the termination. The outcome will determine the legality of the termination and the applicability of industrial dispute provisions.
