The United India Insurance Company ... vs Venugopal
16. I therefore, conclude that wherever the request made by the
Insurance Company or an employer for reference to the medical board, the
Commissioner, Employees Compensation shall refer the claimant to the
medical board, if the injuries are not covered by the schedule to the
enactment and the injuries are of such nature that there will be an element of
guess work in deciding the extent of permanent disability caused by such
injuries. The directions issued by the Division Benches of this Court in
Prabhu's case reported in 2016 (1) TNMAC 609 and 2017 (1) TNMAC
106 would apply to cases arising under the Employees' Compensation Act
also.
