Mamtaj Bi Bapusab Nadaf & Ors vs United India Insurance Co. & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the Insurance Company was not liable for compensation under the Workmen's Compensation Act, as the deaths of the workmen were not directly connected to the insured vehicle. The Court emphasized that mere transportation of maize by the vehicle did not establish proximate cause for the deaths, which resulted from asphyxia in a grocery pit. The Court affirmed the High Court's ruling allowing the appellants to recover compensation from the employer instead.
