Hon'ble Apex Court was pleased to observe that "when the
Commissioner for Workmen's Compensation Act appraised
the evidence adduced before him and recorded a finding of
fact that the deceased was indeed employed as driver by
the owner of the vehicle, no matter the owner happed to be
his brother. The finding could not be likely interfered with
or reverse by the High Court. In this case, the learned

working as labourer on the tractor owned by 4th
respondent which is insured with the appellant herein. In
view of the above binding presidents, it can be held that
there is no bar for a father to employ his son as
collie/employee on his tractor. The evidence including the
documents proves the said relation between the owner of
the tractor and deceased. There is evidence to believe that
the employee died during the course of such employment.
Therefore, there are no grounds to interfere with the said
finding.

any relationship of employee and employer, what was the
age and monthly salary of employee, how many are the
dependants of the deceased employee, the extent of
disability caused to the employee due to injuries suffered in
an accident, whether there was any insurance coverage
obtained by the employer to cover the incident etc., are
some of the material issues which arise for the just
decision of the Commissioner in a claim petition when an
employee suffers any bodily injury or dies during the
course of his employment and he/his LRs sue/s his
employer to claim compensation under the Act. The
aforementioned questions are essentially the questions of
fact and, therefore, they are required to be proved with the
aid of evidence. Once they are proved either way, the
findings recovered thereon are regarded as the finding of
fact".

owner of the tractor trolley, it cannot be said that
relationship of employee and employer between them did
not arise and hence the deceased was not a workman
within the meaning of Section 2(1)(N). There is no bar
under the Act to say that father should not employ his son,
as such the appeal by the Insurance Company against the
order of the Commissioner making liable along with
respondent No.2 was dismissed.
