My father died in a road acident while returning from company. We asked the company to pay workmen's compensation but the company gave a compensation which was very less after filing a suite in the court.
After two years of case one day our lawyer told us that our case is rejected as a similar case which was going on High Court and a decision came that if the accident took place outside the company premises then workmen's compensation is not entitled.
I wanted to know is there any provision in workmen's compensation act that any accident outside company premises even while returning from company is not entitled?
