Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's judgment setting aside the Employees' Compensation Commissioner's order was flawed due to lack of hearing the appellant, violating principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized that under the Employees Compensation Act, 1923, the jurisdictional objections raised by the Insurance Company were not substantiated. Consequently, the Court remanded the case to the High Court for a fresh decision on the appeal, ensuring the claimant's right to be heard is upheld.
