(iii) the wilful removal or disregard by the workman of any safety guard or other device which he knew to have been provided for the purpose of securing the safety of workman, 4[***].
(4) Save as provided by 12[sub-sections (2), (2A)] and (3), no compensation shall be payable to a workman in respect of any disease unless the disease is 13[***] directly attributable to a specific injury by accident arising out of and in the course of his employment.
(b) if an agreement has been come to between the workman and his employer providing for the payment of compensation in respect of the injury in accordance with the provisions of this Act.
The deceased employee while travelling by public transport to his place of work met with a fatal accident. Nothing has been brought on record that the employee was obliged to travel in any particular manner under the terms of the employment nor he was travelling in the official transport. Held, no casual connection between accident and employment could be established. Hence, the claimant is not entitled to any compensation; State Bank of India v. Vijay Laxmi, 1998 LLR 319.
If the deceased employee met with his death while he was going to his place of work and the death has arisen during the course of employment, then the employer is liable for compensation; T.N.C.S. Corporation Ltd. v. S. Poomalai, 1995 LLR 63 (Mad): 1995 I LLJ HC MDS (378).
Where death was accelerated on account of stress and strain of the working condition, it is not necessary that there should be a direct connection between the cause of death and the nature of duties. Even if a casual connection between the two can be shown then the dependants of the deceased would be entitled to claim compensation from the employer; Divisional Personal Officer, Western Railway v. Ashiya Begam, 1994 LLR 11 (Raj).
Injury sustained by a workman must be a physical injury on account of accident; Leela Devi v. Ramlal Rahu, 1990 LLR 213 (HP).
(c) arising out of and in the course of employment; Kalayni P. v. Divisional Manager, Southern Railway (Personal Branch), Divisional Office, Madras, 2004 LLR 207 (Mad HC): 2004 I LLJ 49.
(3) the workman has to say that while doing a part of his duty or incidental thereto it has resulted into an accident.
It is necessary that the workman must be actually working at the time of the injury or the accident. Therefore, the three factors, that there must be injury, which must be caused in an accident, it must be caused in the course of and out of the employment must be established; Branch Manager, New India Assurance Co. Ltd. v. Siddappa, Major, 2004 LLR 731 (Kant HC).
(i) The expression “arising out of employment” means that there must be casual relationship between the accident and the employment. If the accident has occurred on account of the risk which is an incident of employment, it has to be held that the accident has arisen out of the employment; Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Nanguli Singh, 1995 LLJ HC ORS (298).
(ii) The words “out of employment” is not limited to mere nature of the employment, but it (arising out of employment) applies to its nature, its conditions and obligations and its incidents. An accident which occurs on account of a risk, which is an incident of employment, then the claim for compensation can succeed provided the workman has not exposed himself to an added peril by his own imprudent act; Executive Engineer 19th Div. R.C.P., Bikaner v. Heeraram, 1982 (44) FLR 179 Raj: 1980 Raj LW 412.
