Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Commissioner of Workmen's Compensation, affirming that the deceased driver, Dara Khan, died in the course of his employment under the Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923. The Court emphasized that an employee is required to follow the orders of senior officials, and if an accident occurs while performing such duties, it is considered part of employment. The Court concluded that the death was a result of the employment, thus entitling the claimant to compensation under the Act.
