casestatus.in Summary
Where an employee's appointment letter specifies duties encompassing both sales promotion and conducting vehicle test drives, such an employee qualifies as a "paid driver" for the purposes of insurance policy coverage under the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923, rendering the insurer — not the employer — liable to satisfy the compensation award. As analyzed on casestatus.in, the designation assigned to an employee is not determinative; the actual scope of duties prescribed in the appointment terms governs liability attribution.
