Rajasthan High Court Quashes Workmen Compensation Award for Lack of Employer-Employee Relationship

The Rajasthan High Court set aside a workmen's compensation award of Rs. 3.7 lakh, ruling that the claimant failed to establish an employer-employee relationship through documentary or credible evidence as required under the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923. The Court held that such a relationship is a prerequisite for granting compensation under the Act. The Insurance Company's liability was discharged, and the disbursed amount must be refunded.
