Arjun vs Iffco Tokio General Insurance Company ...

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Commissioner for Workmen’s Compensation, affirming that the appellant, who suffered total disablement due to an accident while driving an auto-rickshaw, was entitled to compensation under the Employees Compensation Act, 1923. The court reasoned that the severe injury leading to amputation resulted in a complete loss of capacity to perform his job, thus justifying the claim for compensation. The appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the rights of employees under the compensation framework.
