    The Delhi High Court dismissed Lufthansa German Airlines' appeal challenging an Industrial Tribunal's 2012 award that found the illegal termination of two supervisors in 1999. Both parties agreed to settle: Lufthansa will pay Rs. 10 lakh per employee with 9% interest from the award date, reissue uncashed old cheques, and verify unpaid PF/gratuity amounts to the deceased employee's legal representatives within six months. The court closed the appeal without precedential value, leaving open the legal question of whether supervisors earning Rs. 25,000-28,000 qualify as "workmen" under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1957.
