Status as workman

An employee was a junior officer in a company having six grades for officers. Obviously he had no administrative or managerial powers and worked as instructed by superiors. His appointment letter was silent about his department and job responsibilities.

Upon a dispute for promotion, the superiors took away his work and he was kept idle without assignment till he was dismissed after four years of mistreatment by superiors.

In the Labour court, the company misrepresented fabricated fake job responsibilities to prevent justice to the employee. The Labour court did not go in details for sake of justice but ruled against the employee stating not a 'workman'. The Labour Court neglected the fact that the employee was never given job responsibilities and after the dispute, he was without any work assignment.

When the employee was without any work till he was dismissed, what is his status as a workman under the legal definition?

Best regards,

SRA flat

Hello Experts,
I need your valuable guidance in my below mentioned eventwise query.
1) I had purchased a hut in year 1986 in slum area of mumbai and was iiving there with my wife.
2) In year 1993 my younger brother came from native and started staying with me.
3) After my fathers death I called my mother to mumbai as she was alone in native.
4) My brothers wife also came with my mother so it become impossible for me to accommodate 7 people in that tiny hut and I was also very ill that time.
5) Being a Municipal employee I was aware that sooner or later the slum will go into SRA scheme.
6) I allowed my brother to stay in the same hut and I took a home loan and purchased a flat outside mumbai
7) As stated the hut is being redeloped under SRA scheme and authorities made me eligible in Annexure 2 and agreement also done on my name.
Things were going well but recently my mother passed away and my brother started showing his true colour he in behest of some society members putting pressure on me to give half share in the SRA flat otherwise he will sue me. I have already gave him Rs. 200000/- vide cheques during demolition of hut to find a alternate home which he did but he is become greedy.
Sir, I have all the proofs prior to 1995 and ration card till date so is there any possibility that he can litigate this matter.
I have two married son and one is staying on rent I have not sold the hut thinking their future in mind but my brother has become a source of nuisance for me. Please suggest that he has any rights.

Asking more information for previous posted(9/11/11) question on 'deed rectification'

In my deed,the quantity of my purchased land depicted as "25.6 decimal or 11,319sq.ft or 0.0259 of-on-acres".All the data are correct,but the data "0.0259 of-on-acres" is wrongly depicted where it would be "0.259 of-on-acres".(It may be relevant that the areas of land map in my deed is correct and when,in 2010,I gave revenue for this purchased land,the Revenue officer took revenue & gave cash memo against 0.259 acre).Now,The new District Sub-Registrar(the previous D.S.R,who signed in my deed, was transfered) is not willing to rectify this clerical mistake and says that there is no rules to rectify the recorded data of land quantity/Plot no.After that he said that as my purchased land was recorded as 0.0259 acre,for registering 0.259 acres excluding 0.0259 acre,I have to give again the Land Registration Stump duty about 50,000 although I had given the full and complete stump-duty of 70,200/ and the total cost of land registration was 1 lakh and 5 thousand rupees against the land valuation of 10,85,000/ according to the West Bengal Registration Rules 1961. Today I have met with the vendor and he agreed to give his consent in writing in front of court/D.S.R that he sold me 25.6 decimal=to 0.259 acre=to 11319 sq.ft land.Today I have also met one local civil lawyer who wants to go through AFIDAVIT or DEED OF DECLARATION or PRE-LITIGATION process.But the BLOCK LAND & LAND REFORM OFFICER(B.L & L.R.O) told me that he may accept land quantity data for Mutation and "Parcha" purpose, only in acre which must be depicted in deed and no other document,i.e AFIDAVIT/DEED OF DECLARATION/PRE-LITIGATION will be entertain.As I am a retired person and got extension to stay in company quarter for 6 months,I am not willing to go any civil suit as I have to complete my home-building upon this land within this limited time.Please let me know What should I do & in what judicial process I shall get remedy in shorter time and able to save the re-registration stump-duty fees about ,more or less, 50,000/ as I have already given the total amount according to that W.B Registration Rules 1961.
