    Summary: The Bombay High Court dismissed New World Paints Pvt. Ltd.'s writ petition challenging the Labour Court's September 2024 order, upholding the reinstatement of employee Suhas Narkar with 50% back wages from May 27, 2020. The court held that despite his "Senior Sales Manager" designation, Narkar was a "workman" based on his actual clerical duties, not salary or title; his termination constituted illegal retrenchment without following statutory procedures under the Industrial Disputes Act, as the company filed no written statement to contest his claims and failed to demonstrate compliance with notice or compensation requirements.
