Case Summary: WP 1381/2026 Anglo Eastern Ship Management (India) Pvt. Ltd. challenged disability compensation orders directed against it by the Director General of Shipping and the First Appellate Authority in favor of Ajeet Kumar Sinha. The Bombay High Court found critical evidentiary gaps: the alleged injury occurred in May 2018 but the compensation claim was filed only in May 2024, and the medical report lacked the underlying Neurosurgeon's opinion needed to establish the injury occurred during employment. The court granted leave to implead Grant Medical College and Sir J.J. Hospital as Respondent No. 3 and adjourned the matter to 29th June 2026 for further adjudication. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
