C. Manjamma vs The Divisional Manager

The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision that had reversed the Labour Commissioner's award of compensation to the family of a deceased workman. The court found that the workman's death due to cardiac arrest while on duty was compensable under the Workmen's Compensation Act. The judgment reinstated the original award of Rs. 4,15,960 with interest, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the connection between employment and the cause of death.
