The Bombay High Court dismissed Reliance General Insurance's appeal under the Employees Compensation Act, 1923, finding no substantial questions of law. The court rejected the insurance company's challenges regarding the tribunal's findings on the allegedly fake policy (noting the 5-year delay in lodging a police complaint undermined credibility) and the acceptance of a disability certificate from a non-treating doctor (finding no statutory requirement for a treating physician's certificate). The interim application was allowed, staying the impugned order pending appeal disposal after the insurance company deposited the awarded amount. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
