      This is an appeal preferred against the order of the<\/p>\n
Workmen’s Compensation      Commissioner,    Kozhikode in<\/p>\n
W.C.C.71\/95. In an unfortunate incident the mother of AW1<\/p>\n
namely Nadichi died and the contention is that she is an<\/p>\n
employee of the opposite party and therefore entitled to<\/p>\n
compensation under the Workmen’s Compensation Act. On<\/p>\n
the contra the respondent would totally deny the employer-<\/p>\n
employee relationship and requested the Court to dismiss the<\/p>\n
petition.\n<\/p>\n
      2.   Before the Compensation Commissioner AWs.1<\/p>\n
and 2 and DWs.1 to 3 were examined. Exts.A1 to A5 and<\/p>\n
RWs.1 to 5 and X1 were marked. On an analysis of the<\/p>\n
entire materials the Workmen’s Compensation Commissioner<\/p>\n
found against the applicant and dismissed the case. It is<\/p>\n
M.F.A.. 1699 OF 1998
\n                                -:2:-<\/span><\/p>\n
against that decision the appeal is preferred and the<\/p>\n
substantial question of law raised in the memorandum of<\/p>\n
appeal is whether a judgment written contrary to the<\/p>\n
evidence on record is bad in law?\n<\/p>\n
      Point:\n<\/p>\n
      3.   Heard the learned counsel for the appellant as well<\/p>\n
as the respondent.    One Nadichi died on 25.5.94 while a<\/p>\n
heap of earth fell on her while removing earth and she<\/p>\n
succumbed to the injuries while she was taken to the hospital<\/p>\n
and the claimant is the daughter of the deceased. The bone<\/p>\n
of   contention   is   regarding     the   employer-employee<\/p>\n
relationship. The question of employee-employer relationship<\/p>\n
is an absolute question of fact and unless there is that much<\/p>\n
of perversity or mis-application of mind it cannot be taken as<\/p>\n
a substantial question of law so as to entertain an appeal u\/s<\/p>\n
30 of the Workmen’s Compensation Act. Since the death of<\/p>\n
a person is attracted and that too a lady under the<\/p>\n
M.F.A.. 1699 OF 1998
\n                                 -:3:-<\/span><\/p>\n
circumstances, I think it is fit to peruse the entire matter to<\/p>\n
find out whether there is any mis-appreciation of evidence or<\/p>\n
mis-application of law.\n<\/p>\n
      4.   Admittedly this Nadichi was employed with one<\/p>\n
brick company called M\/s Chembra Bricks and Clay Works.<\/p>\n
The register of wages relating to the establishment had been<\/p>\n
produced before Court and marked as Ext.R4. It shows the<\/p>\n
name of this lady as a permanent worker. Subsequently it is<\/p>\n
seen that this lady had left from the said establishment and<\/p>\n
she seized to have connection with the said firm.          The<\/p>\n
respondent has produced register of wages maintained by his<\/p>\n
establishment as R2 and muster roll as R1 and that does not<\/p>\n
show the name of this Nadichi as an employee in the<\/p>\n
company.    So admittedly the documents produced in this<\/p>\n
case only negatives the case of an employee-employer<\/p>\n
relationship.\n<\/p>\n
M.F.A.. 1699 OF 1998
\n                               -:4:-<\/span><\/p>\n
     5.    AW1 is the claimant herself. She has admitted in<\/p>\n
evidence that her mother was working under M\/S Chembra<\/p>\n
Clay Products and she had left the company and according to<\/p>\n
her later she had taken to this establishment and the<\/p>\n
accident had taken place while she was working there. It can<\/p>\n
be seen from her evidence that Nadichi was under poor<\/p>\n
financial circumstances struggling to make both ends meet<\/p>\n
and she had applied for a Governmental pension and she is<\/p>\n
more than 60 years old. So this also indicates that she is not<\/p>\n
an employee under any company. It has also come out in<\/p>\n
her evidence that her mother was residing very near that<\/p>\n
factory and that she used to walk through the premises of<\/p>\n
the factory and the owner never used to object it. It is also<\/p>\n
suggested that she has come to the factory to meet her old<\/p>\n
friends or for collecting some money and unfortunately the<\/p>\n
incident had taken place at that point of time.<\/p>\n
M.F.A.. 1699 OF 1998
\n                               -:5:-<\/span><\/p>\n
     6.   AW1 is one Geetha and her evidence does not<\/p>\n
inspire confidence to hold that her mother has worked as an<\/p>\n
employee under the respondent. AW2 is one Suseela. It is<\/p>\n
her case that she had seen the incident.        But in cross<\/p>\n
examination she says that she understood the fact from<\/p>\n
somebody on enquiry. According to the applicant the way to<\/p>\n
the home of Nadichi is through the opposite party’s<\/p>\n
establishment whereas AW2 has given an entirely different<\/p>\n
version.  So she is a witness who deposes contradictory<\/p>\n
versions. Therefore her evidence also has to be viewed with<\/p>\n
suspicion and it does not establish the factum that Nadichi is<\/p>\n
employed in opposite party’s firm.\n<\/p>\n
     7.   DW2 is the person who had given the FIR. He had<\/p>\n
retracted from his statement that Nadichi was a worker<\/p>\n
under the respondent therein. The owner as AW1 had also<\/p>\n
denied the factum of employer-employee relationship.<\/p>\n
There is no acceptable scrap of paper produced to establish<\/p>\n
M.F.A.. 1699 OF 1998
\n                                -:6:-<\/span><\/p>\n
the employer-employee relationship. The evidence tendered<\/p>\n
in this case is insufficient.\n<\/p>\n
      From these discussions it can be seen that the there is<\/p>\n
no sufficient evidence to show that the deceased was<\/p>\n
working under the respondent’s firm and there were no<\/p>\n
materials before the Court to establish the factum of<\/p>\n
employer-employee relationship. In the circumstances, the<\/p>\n
unavoidable result is to dismiss the case and I do so.<\/p>\n
Therefore the appeal lacks merit and the same is dismissed.<\/p>\n
