3. The learned counsel for the appellant submitted that at the time of the alleged accident, the first respondent was employed as Assistant Manager with Code No.S 1373 "C" Unit of the Anglo French Textiles Corporation Limited. So, he will not come under the definition of the employee nor on par with that of workmen. The Commissioner of Labour, erroneously concluded that he also comes under the definition of Workmen and granted the compensation.
