Multiple Claims For Same Accident Not Maintainable Under Employee's Compensation Act: Himachal Pradesh HC

The Himachal Pradesh High Court ruled that multiple claims for compensation under the Employees Compensation Act for the same accident are not maintainable. The case involved a worker who had filed several claims for compensation arising from the same accident. The Court held that once compensation is awarded under the Act, no further claims can be made for the same incident. This ruling reinforces the principle that workers cannot claim multiple compensations for the same injury and promotes the efficient resolution of workers' compensation claims.
