Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of an appeal under Section 30(1)(a) of the Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923, for lack of a specific Certificate was erroneous. The Court found that the appellant's proof of deposit of compensation via a Demand Draft constituted substantial compliance with the requirements of Section 30. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's order and directed it to hear the appeal on merits, ensuring a reasoned decision within six months.
