Court Decision Summary The Bombay High Court dismissed the insurance company's appeal and upheld the labor court's award of Rs. 5,20,584 in compensation to an injured driver. The court held that an employer-employee relationship existed between the applicant and his father (vehicle owner), despite being relatives and lacking written documentation, as the father admitted employment in his written statement and issued a wage certificate confirming Rs. 4,000 monthly salary, which satisfied the burden of proof under the Workmen's Compensation Act. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
