JASWINDER SINGH vs M/S THE ORIENTAL INSURANCE CO.LTD.

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against the High Court's order which set aside the compensation awarded under the Workmen Compensation Act, 1923. The Court noted that the compensation had already been paid to the appellant and that the respondent, Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd., did not contest the appeal. The Court exercised its discretion under Article 136 of the Constitution, choosing not to interfere with the High Court's decision, while leaving open any substantial questions of law for future consideration.
