https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=126750 An accident on an employee's own bicycle while travelling from home to work, before duty hours and outside the factory, does not amount to an employment injury under the Employees' State Insurance Act unless the injury both arose out of and occurred in the course of employment. The causal link requirement means the accident must originate in the employment, while the temporal element requires it to happen during the employment period. The notional extension doctrine cannot be stretched to cover an ordinary commute on the employee's own conveyance, and the deeming provision for employer-provided transport does not apply. The resulting claim for ESI benefit was not maintainable. en-us Wed, 11 Sep 1996 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 25 Aug 2025 13:17:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=126750 An accident on an employee's own bicycle while travelling from home to work, before duty hours and outside the factory, does not amount to an employment injury under the Employees' State Insurance Act unless the injury both arose out of and occurred in the course of employment.
