    Case Summary: REF(LCV) No. 164/2021 Court: Labour Court No. 1, Vadodara Decided: 18 May 2026 Parties: Padhiyar Vijaybhai Bachubhai (Petitioner) vs. Apothecon Pharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd. (Respondent) Decision: The court dismissed the worker's reference, rejecting his claim for reinstatement with back wages. The court found that the worker was appointed on a fixed-term contract basis, and upon expiry of the contract period on 31 December 2020, the employment was lawfully terminated in accordance with Section 2(bb) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947—which exempts non-renewal of fixed-term contracts from constituting "retrenchment." The worker's subsequent termination on 1 January 2021 was therefore not considered illegal dismissal. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
