Murder Of Employee Doesn’t Disentitle Legal Heirs From Claiming Compensation Under Employees’ Compensation Act: Delhi High Court

Case: Neelu Kumari & Ors v. Om & Anr (Bajaj Alliance Gen Ins Co Ltd)

Coram: Justice Dharmesh Sharma

Case No.: FAO 56/2016

Court Observation: “…the  finding by the Commissioner that murder of an employee during the course of  performance of his duties would not bring the case within the ambit of Section  2(1)(n) of the E.C. Act, is flawed. For which reliance can be placed on  decision in Rita Devi Vs. New India Insurance Company Ltd., as also decision by  this Court in National Insurance Company Ltd. Vs. Munesh Devi.”
