As per case facts, the petitioner, Gurbachan Singh, challenged the termination of his services, alleging he was a daily-waged helper employed by the respondent, whose services were terminated verbally when
...the work was awarded to a contractor. The Labour Court dismissed his claim, finding he failed to prove an employer-employee relationship. Feeling aggrieved, the petitioner filed a writ petition. The question arose whether the termination of services by the respondent was legal and justified, and if the petitioner was entitled to reinstatement and other benefits, which depended on establishing an employer-employee relationship. Finally, the High Court upheld the Labour Court's decision, concluding that the petitioner failed to discharge the burden of proving an employer-employee relationship using various tests like the Control Test, Organization/Integration Test, and Multiple Factor Test, thus dismissing the writ petition.
