https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=468212 Section 38-A of the Bombay Shops and Establishments Act, 1948 applies the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923 and the connected rules mutatis mutandis to covered employees through a deeming fiction, so they may pursue compensation for employment injuries without being confined to the narrower ordinary definition of "workman" under the 1923 Act. The provision is intended to extend the compensation remedy to employees of establishments governed by the Bombay Act. On that construction, an employee covered by Section 38-A could maintain a compensation application, and a contrary view that insisted on the isolated application of the 1923 Act's definition was legally erroneous. en-us Tue, 11 Jan 1994 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 22 Apr 2026 18:27:50 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=468212 Section 38-A of the Bombay Shops and Establishments Act, 1948 applies the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923 and the connected rules mutatis mutandis to covered employees through a deeming fiction, so they may pursue compensation for employment injuries without being confined to the narrower ordinary definition of "workman" under the 1923 Act.
