IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. FAO 692 of 1984 DATE OF DECISION : JANUARY 21, 2008 GENERAL MANAGER, NORTHERN RAILWAY ....... APPELLANT(S) VERSUS RAM NARESH .... RESPONDENT(S) CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: Mr. Akhilesh Bhardwaj, Advocate, for the appellant. None for the respondent. AJAI LAMBA, J. (Oral) This appeal has been filed by the Northern Railway and is directed against order dated 11.6.1984 passed by the Commissioner, Workmen's Compensation Act, Sonepat. The respondent was a Water Carrier. This fact is not in dispute. In the impugned order, it finds mention that on 5.12.1980, the duty of the workman was at Railway Station, Karnal, to serve water and even if it was assumed that the claimant, after leaving the bucket and the Lotta, boarded the Flying Mail for reaching his home early and while getting down, the accident in question took place, the claimant is entitled to the compensation. FAO 692 of 1984 2 The Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923, is a beneficient legislation. I do not find any ground to interfere with the impugned order. The appeal is dismissed.
