Saberabibi Yakubbhai Shaikh & Ors vs National Ins.Co.Ltd.& Ors

The Supreme Court held that under the Workmen Compensation Act, compensation is payable from the date of the accident, not from the date of the Commissioner's order. The Court overruled the High Court's decision that allowed interest from the date of adjudication, aligning with the precedent set in Pratap Narain Singh Deo v. Srinivas Sabata. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's judgment was set aside, entitling the appellants to interest at 12% from the date of the accident.
