The<\/p>\n<p>applicant, claimed to be an employee under the<\/p>\n<p>opposite party sustained injuries in a road<\/p>\n<p>accident and he has been awarded a compensation<\/p>\n<p>of  Rs.98,850\/-.   The    insurance   company  has<\/p>\n<p>disputed the employer-employee relationship as<\/p>\n<p>well as the coverage under the policy.         The<\/p>\n<p>substantial questions of law as allowed as per<\/p>\n<p>the amendment application are as follows.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>        &#8220;i. Whether   the   Commissioner   is<\/p>\n<p>        justified   in   holding   that   the<\/p>\n<p>        applicant who is employed as a<\/p>\n<p>        &#8220;Karysthan&#8221; in a Biship&#8217;s house<\/p>\n<p>M.F.A.. 303 OF 2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                          -:2:-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>          can be considered as an employee<\/p>\n<p>          of the insured who comes under the<\/p>\n<p>          proviso  to  Section  147  of  the<\/p>\n<p>          M.V.Act.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>          ii. Whether a casual rider of a<\/p>\n<p>          motorcycle can be considered as a<\/p>\n<p>          driver employed by the insured who<\/p>\n<p>          come under the proviso to S.147 of<\/p>\n<p>          the M.V.Act and<\/p>\n<p>          iii. Whether the Commissioner is<\/p>\n<p>          justified in not considering the<\/p>\n<p>          Supreme Court decision which says<\/p>\n<p>          that the interest is payable only<\/p>\n<p>          from the date of adjudication.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    Points 1 to 3:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>    2.    In    order to entitle the claimant to<\/p>\n<p>have compensation it is imperative to establish<\/p>\n<p>the    employer-employee relationship.    Now the<\/p>\n<p>sphere of controversy between the parties is<\/p>\n<p>that the claimant is an employee in the Bishop&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>house and he is not an employee of the first<\/p>\n<p>opposite     party  and therefore   there  is no<\/p>\n<p>M.F.A.. 303 OF 2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                          -:3:-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>employer-employee relationship and therefore the<\/p>\n<p>claim will not lie.    When it is a Bishop&#8217;s house<\/p>\n<p>and     a    person  is   employed,   there   are<\/p>\n<p>methodologies      by  which    the parties   can<\/p>\n<p>successfully prove under whom the claimant is<\/p>\n<p>working.     If the claimant is able to establish<\/p>\n<p>that he is working under the first opposite<\/p>\n<p>party then he can be classified as an employee<\/p>\n<p>for the reason that one need not be a full time<\/p>\n<p>rider of a vehicle but in the discharge of the<\/p>\n<p>duty and in the course of employment if he is<\/p>\n<p>directed by the employer to ride a vehicle and<\/p>\n<p>he meets with an accident the position will be<\/p>\n<p>covered.      But   the fundamental  question  of<\/p>\n<p>employer-employee      relationship    must    be<\/p>\n<p>established.     When questions are put to him in<\/p>\n<p>the cross-examination the claimant only gives<\/p>\n<p>evasive answers and therefore the evidence is<\/p>\n<p>M.F.A.. 303 OF 2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                          -:4:-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>not properly adduced and the appreciation of the<\/p>\n<p>same is not in accordance with law.     Therefore<\/p>\n<p>the matter requires reconsideration at the hands<\/p>\n<p>of the Compensation Commissioner on     employer-<\/p>\n<p>employee relationship.\n<\/p>\n<p>    3.    Then    the learned   counsel for   the<\/p>\n<p>insurance company again would contend that even<\/p>\n<p>if it is found that the applicant is an employee<\/p>\n<p>under the first opposite party, being not a paid<\/p>\n<p>driver, the terms and conditions of the policy<\/p>\n<p>excludes     the  coverage  of  such  person  and<\/p>\n<p>therefore the insurance company shall not be<\/p>\n<p>saddled with the liability. This matter also has<\/p>\n<p>to be considered and the purport and impact of<\/p>\n<p>S.147      of    the   M.V.Act    also   requires<\/p>\n<p>reconsideration and that also can be looked<\/p>\n<p>into.     Therefore the award under challenge is<\/p>\n<p>set aside and the matter is remitted back to the<\/p>\n<p>M.F.A.. 303 OF 2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                         -:5:-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Compensation Commissioner for the following.<\/p>\n<p>    (1) The claimant has to adduce evidence to<\/p>\n<p>satisfy      that  there   is   employer-employee<\/p>\n<p>relationship between him and the first opposite<\/p>\n<p>party and the insurance company can also tender<\/p>\n<p>evidence in that regard so that the Court can<\/p>\n<p>arrive at a reasonable conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>    (2) The contention of the insurance company<\/p>\n<p>that even if the employer-employee relationship<\/p>\n<p>is found whether by virtue of the terms and<\/p>\n<p>conditions of the policy the present applicant<\/p>\n<p>will be covered be also decided.\n<\/p>\n<p>    4.    I do not propose to interfere with the<\/p>\n<p>quantum awarded in this case and therefore the<\/p>\n<p>scope of remand is only for these two limited<\/p>\n<p>purposes.\n<\/p>\n<p>    5.    The Commissioner is directed to fix a<\/p>\n<p>date, send notice to the parties and give a date<\/p>\n<p>M.F.A.. 303 OF 2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                        -:6:-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>of hearing of the case.   If any amount is lying<\/p>\n<p>in deposit, let it remain there till a final<\/p>\n<p>decision is taken.     Since he had sustained<\/p>\n<p>serious injuries the Compensation Commissioner<\/p>\n<p>shall dispose of the matter within three months<\/p>\n<p>from the date of first appearance before Court.<\/p>\n<p>    The M.F.A. is disposed of accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>                     M.N.
