https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=126748 A workman's death by assault while proceeding to join duty was held to arise out of employment because the employment placed him at the spot and exposed him to a proximate special peril there. The court applied the requirement of causal connection under the Workmen's Compensation Act and found that the risk need not be one faced only by the employee, so long as it was not personal to him or created by his own act. It also held that the claimant discharged the burden of proof by showing that the deceased was at the relevant place because of his employment and that the accident occurred in that course; the employer had to prove any personal or self-created peril. en-us Wed, 20 Jan 1954 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 16:04:58 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=126748 A workman's death by assault while proceeding to join duty was held to arise out of employment because the employment placed him at the spot and exposed him to a proximate special peril there.
