The petitioner who holds the diploma in engineering was appointed as an engineer and on his own showing his main function was to supervise the workers. Therefore, the finding of the Central Govt. that the petitioner does not fall within the definition of "workman" under section 2(s) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 cannot be faulted. 3. In any event there was inordinate delay of nearly 7 years in raising the dispute. Therefore, in our opinion, this is not a fit case for exercise of writ jurisdiction under Article 226. Petition is accordingly dismissed.
