C. Manjamma & Anr. vs. The Divisional Manager The New India Insurance Co. Ltd. (SC)

Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923–Secs. 3 & 30–Award–Reversed by the High Court–Justification–No substantial question of law was involved in the appeal–Question of law would arise when the same is not dependent on examination of evidence and which may not require any investigation of facts–A question of law would arise when the finding is perverse or when no legal evidence is adduced to establish the jurisdictional facts–View taken by the Commissioner was the one based on the material placed on record which basically established that the deceased was employed as a driver and he was aged 30 years, and he died on duty due to cardiac attack and the attack was attributable to his job of the driver–Impugned judgment passed by the High Court is liable to be set aside.
