The<\/p>\n<p>claimant has not established the age of the deceased victim<\/p>\n<p>or he was a workman died during the service and hence the<\/p>\n<p>entire evidence about the claim is vague and has not<\/p>\n<p>discharged the onus to prove the case by cogent and reliable<\/p>\n<p>evidence and even on preponderance of probability as<\/p>\n<p>witnesses are untrustworthy and brother of deceased has not<\/p>\n<p>been examined. Further the Evidence Act or burden of proof<\/p>\n<p>on the preponderance of probability has not been established<\/p>\n<p>as no document has been provided for the victim being of<\/p>\n<p>the age 20 years or that he was employed as workman and<\/p>\n<p>the brothers have not been examined and hence the<\/p>\n<p>witnesses are untrustworthy.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                   -3-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>        Learned counsel for the opposite party, however,<\/p>\n<p>contended that it was not within the competence of the<\/p>\n<p>appellant to produce the document. However, there is no<\/p>\n<p>challenge either by the owner or by the Insurance Company<\/p>\n<p>during the proceeding before the labour court and nothing<\/p>\n<p>has been brought in the notice either in the impugned order<\/p>\n<p>or in the grounds of appeal that there was any contest raised<\/p>\n<p>by the insurance company or the worker that the deceased<\/p>\n<p>was not a workman or the Tribunal had no territorial<\/p>\n<p>jurisdiction and others and further the claimant had filed a<\/p>\n<p>petition for limitation in the lower court and the court has<\/p>\n<p>taken note of that the Workmen Compensation Act is a<\/p>\n<p>beneficial legislation and hence there must have been a<\/p>\n<p>liberal construction in favour of the claimant and if the<\/p>\n<p>objection has not been raised by the appellant, the claim of<\/p>\n<p>the claimant was allowed.\n<\/p>\n<p>        However, from perusal of the orders it is the<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Labour Commissioner, Workmen Compensation<\/p>\n<p>Act, Magadh Division, Gaya has passed the order on<\/p>\n<p>16.02.2002. The notification suggest that all the Presiding<\/p>\n<p>Officer of the Labour Courts &#8211; cum &#8211; Workmen<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                    -4-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Compensation Commissioner can dispose of the claims if<\/p>\n<p>not contested and in the notification itself in Item No. 22<\/p>\n<p>mentions the Deputy Labour Commissioner, Magadh<\/p>\n<p>Division, Gaya has jurisdiction over the entire Magadh<\/p>\n<p>Division in the same notification which has been relied<\/p>\n<p>upon, a faded copy has been filed notification dated<\/p>\n<p>06.12.1995. Moreover in the grounds of appeal by the<\/p>\n<p>appellant there is no mention of any ground taken as such<\/p>\n<p>that the Deputy Labour Commissioner &#8211; cum &#8211; Workmen<\/p>\n<p>Compensation Commissioner, Magadh Division, Gaya has<\/p>\n<p>no jurisdiction to dispose of the claim under Workmen<\/p>\n<p>Compensation Act for the territorial jurisdiction of Gaya<\/p>\n<p>specifically. However, general grounds have been taken that<\/p>\n<p>the order is illegal without jurisdiction but it has not been<\/p>\n<p>specifically mentioned how it is without jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<p>        Learned counsel for the appellant, however,<\/p>\n<p>contended that the claim is barred by limitation. However,<\/p>\n<p>in the grounds of appeal there is no ground for limitation<\/p>\n<p>has been taken nor there is any mention about the basic facts<\/p>\n<p>for the limitation and the court has taken into consideration<\/p>\n<p>the fact that the claimant was 17 years at the time of the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                    -5-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>death of the deceased and was dependent on income of<\/p>\n<p>deceased and when the claimant got adult then has filed the<\/p>\n<p>case and even filed a separate petition for condoning the<\/p>\n<p>delay and after duly scrutinizing the claim petition the claim<\/p>\n<p>petition was registered and notices issued to the opposite<\/p>\n<p>party to deposit the claim or give a written statement and the<\/p>\n<p>copy of the same was also given to the appellant and the<\/p>\n<p>claim petition was heard on various dates and even the<\/p>\n<p>written statement filed by the Insurance Company and the<\/p>\n<p>certificate of the age and even the statement of witness<\/p>\n<p>Krishna Kumar and Bharat Prasad were recorded. The<\/p>\n<p>Tribunal on perusal of the First Information Report, post<\/p>\n<p>mortem, insurance policy and the statement of the witnesses<\/p>\n<p>held that the deceased was a driver at the time of the death<\/p>\n<p>and the claimant is the younger brother dependent on the<\/p>\n<p>income of the deceased and since the deceased was<\/p>\n<p>unmarried whose parents had died and under Section 2(D)<\/p>\n<p>of the Workmen Compensation Act the younger brother is a<\/p>\n<p>dependent and hence is liable to that compensation.<\/p>\n<p>        Learned counsel for the Insurance Company,<\/p>\n<p>however, contends that the claimant has not produced any<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                    -6-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>document either to show that the deceased was a workman<\/p>\n<p>as he has not produced any paper. However, it is difficult for<\/p>\n<p>the claimant to procure any document from a private bus<\/p>\n<p>owner but neither the owner nor the insurance company has<\/p>\n<p>come forward to contest and dispute that the deceased was<\/p>\n<p>not a workman nor there is any contest or challenge that the<\/p>\n<p>deceased was not a brother of the driver and when these<\/p>\n<p>matter has not been disputed then disbelieving the evidence<\/p>\n<p>of the witnesses or disclaiming the claim of the claimant<\/p>\n<p>does not appear to be proper as Workmen Compensation<\/p>\n<p>Act is a beneficial legislation and the law is to be interpreted<\/p>\n<p>in liberal construction. The insurance company and the<\/p>\n<p>owner have been given the option to dispute and challenge<\/p>\n<p>the facts. However, there is nothing on record to suggest<\/p>\n<p>either in the grounds of appeal or by any document even by<\/p>\n<p>the written statement that they challenged that the deceased<\/p>\n<p>was not the workman or the claimant is not the brother.<\/p>\n<p>Since there was no challenge the Labour Commissioner has<\/p>\n<p>jurisdiction to decide. From the entire impugned order there<\/p>\n<p>is nothing to show that there was any contest.<\/p>\n<p>         Learned counsel for the appellant, however,<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                   -7-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>contested that the Deputy Labour Commissioner, Magadh<\/p>\n<p>Division, Gaya has no jurisdiction because when there is a<\/p>\n<p>contest it is a Labour Court who has got jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<p>However, there is nothing on record to suggest that there<\/p>\n<p>was any contest or dispute raised that the deceased was not a<\/p>\n<p>workman or the claimant was not the heir or brother<\/p>\n<p>dependent on the deceased and hence since there is no<\/p>\n<p>dispute raised the Insurance Company cannot challenge<\/p>\n<p>even in the grounds of appeal no grounds has been taken<\/p>\n<p>that they have challenged these facts. However, the only<\/p>\n<p>points raised that the appellant has not produced any<\/p>\n<p>document regarding the facts that the deceased was the<\/p>\n<p>workman of the vehicle owned by the owner or the claimant<\/p>\n<p>has not proved by a document that he was dependent on his<\/p>\n<p>bother or about his age. However, the impugned order itself<\/p>\n<p>mentions that the deceased produced the school leaving<\/p>\n<p>certificate and adduce evidence the evidence of the witness<\/p>\n<p>to hold that the deceased was a workman and the claimant<\/p>\n<p>was the owner and it was incumbent on the insurance<\/p>\n<p>company to challenge the facts or to dispute the claim.<\/p>\n<p>However, it has been contended that the fact has not been<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                             -8-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>         proved well within Section 101 and 102 of the Evidence<\/p>\n<p>         Act. However, the Evidence Act is not strictly applied in<\/p>\n<p>         such proceedings like the Motor Vehicles Act and the<\/p>\n<p>         Workmen Compensation Act and it is incumbent on the<\/p>\n<p>         Insurance Company or the worker to contest or dispute but<\/p>\n<p>         the insurance company could not show that labour disputed<\/p>\n<p>         or challenged the claim of the claimant and hence I do not<\/p>\n<p>         find any merit in this appeal, hence, the appeal is dismissed.<\/p>\n<pre>Kundan                        (Gopal Prasad, J.)\n <\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patna High Court &#8211; Orders United India Insurance Company vs Mukesh Kumar &amp;Amp; Anr on 6 September, 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MA No.307 of 2000 United India Insurance Company Ltd. through its Divisional Manager, A.N.
