Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against the High Court's order which set aside the Workmen Compensation Commissioner's award of Rs. 58,296 under the Workmen Compensation Act. The Court noted that the compensation had already been paid to the appellant and the respondent, Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd., did not contest the appeal. The Court declined to interfere under Article 136 of the Constitution, while leaving open any substantial questions of law for future consideration.
