    The Bombay High Court dismissed the writ petition filed by Nazir Abdul Razak Shaikh against Air Liquid India Holdings Pvt. Ltd., holding that the petitioner was not a "workman" under the Industrial Disputes Act but rather an independent contractor after February 28, 2006. The court found that the petitioner's resignation, acceptance of full and final settlement (Rs. 95,562), contractor-styled bills issued in his name, tax deduction records (Form 16A), and absence from later muster rolls collectively established that the original employment ended in February 2006 and a contractor arrangement thereafter existed, rejecting his claim for reinstatement with back wages. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
