Insurance Company Can't Deny Compensation Citing Invalid Employer-Employee Relationship Between Family Members Without Evidence: HP High Court

The Himachal Pradesh High Court ruled that an "insurance company cannot deny compensation citing invalid employer-employee relationship between family members without evidence." The case involved a claimant injured while working with his brother. The court stated that close family ties do not automatically negate a valid employer-employee relationship if supported by credible evidence. It emphasized that denying compensation requires concrete proof that no such relationship existed, ensuring fair treatment for claimants in accident cases.
