Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's decision to set aside the Workmen's Compensation Commissioner's award due to lack of evidence of employment was improper. The Court clarified that the appellants are entitled to pursue claims under the Motor Vehicles Act against both the alleged offending vehicle and the insurance company. The Tribunal is directed to conduct a merits-based inquiry without being influenced by the High Court's findings, ensuring an expeditious resolution of the case.
