Incidentally, in another decision by Bombay High Court in case
titled Mohammed Anis Mohd. Eleya Khan (supra) cited by the
learned counsel for the respondent, it was held that " a cleaner, who is
engaged or employed by a driver during the course of a trip, also is
deemed to be an employee of the owner of the vehicle". It was a case
where driver was paid some amount in lump sum and out of the same,
driver was allowed to engage somebody to work as a cleaner with him
