                                                        ORDER

1. We have heard Mr. Garg at length and we are not satisfied that the cases calls for our interference.
The question raised in this case is whether the petitioner is a workman. The Labour Court has
founds that he is not a workman. The evidence is that he supervises the work of the maintenance
department in the capacity of Maintenance Engineer and that he does not work through fitters and
turners etc. who are his subordinates. It is also pointed out that he grants leave, initiates disciplinary
proceedings etc. He has also power to make temporary appointments. We are of the view that the
Labour Court is right in holding that the petitioner is not a workman. The stay stands vacated. The
special leave petition is dismissed.
