dear members
In my company a contract labourer met with an unfortunate accident. He was given proper treatment at hospital by us and is now recovering.
Question arose of payment of compensation under section 12 (1) r/w Sec. 3(1) of the employees ' Compensation Act . The Contractor when contacted has in written submitted his inability to pay due to financial stringency. We understand that as Principal Employer we are liable to pay BUT can we recover the amount from contractor.
QN. What are the valid means to recover from such Contractors?
Kindly throw some light.
regards
