THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY C.M.A.No.520 of 2010 JUDGMENT: The appellant filed W.C.Case No.13 of 2004 before the Commissioner for Workmen’s Compensation and Assistant Commissioner of Labour, Sanga Reddy (for short, ‘the Commissioner’), claiming compensation for the injuries said to have been received by him in the course of employment. The O.P. was dismissed by the Commissioner on 03.03.2010, on the ground that the petitioner did not file the disability certificate. The petitioner states that, in spite of his repeated efforts, he could not get the disability certificate, and without giving adequate opportunity, the Commissioner dismissed the case. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the 2nd respondent. The case was pending before the Commissioner, ever since 2004. It cannot be said that the petitioner was not given adequate opportunity. It is, however, brought to the notice of this Court that for quite a long time, the Office of the Commissioner was vacant at Sanga Reddy and that in spite of repeated requests, the concerned Government Doctor did not issue the disability certificate. The disability certificate is to be issued only by the stipulated authority. It cannot be secured from private medical practitioners. The petitioner needs to be given one more opportunity to obtain the same. Hence, the C.M.A. is allowed and the order under appeal is set aside. It is directed that, in case the petitioner submits the disability certificate within six weeks from today, the same shall be taken on record. The Commissioner shall decide the W.C. case, on merits, duly taking into account the certificate that may be filed. If no such certificate is filed, he shall refer to the relevant facts and pass a reasoned order. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dated:02.09.2010 Note: Furnish C.C. in one week. (b/o) GJ
