MACKINNON MACKENZIE & CO. PVT. LTD. vs IBRAHIM MAHOMMED ISSAK

The Supreme Court held that under Section 3 of the Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923, for a claim to be valid, the injury must arise both out of and in the course of employment. The Court found that the Additional Commissioner did not err in concluding that there was insufficient evidence to establish that the seaman's death was caused by an accident related to his employment. Consequently, the High Court's reversal of the Additional Commissioner's decision was unjustified, and the appeal was allowed, affirming the original findings.
