Case Summary: SLP(C) No. 23800/2004 Chandwani Jhamandas Sobhraj v. Digvijay Cement Co. Pvt. Ltd. The Supreme Court dismissed the petitioner's special leave petition on 12/01/2007. The petitioner, terminated in 1983, initially filed a civil suit which was withdrawn, then pursued an industrial dispute. The Labour Court awarded Rs. 75,000 compensation, but the High Court set it aside, holding the Labour Court lacked jurisdiction because the petitioner was not a "workman" under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Supreme Court upheld this finding, ruling the petitioner was in a supervisory capacity and ineligible for industrial court relief. The petition was dismissed; the petitioner may pursue other available legal remedies. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
