When Mr Yashpal was working for a company in Bhalswa, Delhi he was assigned the work of a supervisor. On June 22, 2010 just as any other day, he completed his assigned work and was having his lunch in the work site. However, on this unfortunate day an iron rod carried by a mobile crane fell upon him resulting in grievous injuries. His colleagues immediately rushed him to hospital where he remained admitted for a considerable time period. Ultimately, the doctors had to amputate his left leg.
Mr Yashpal thus filed an application seeking compensation for his injuries since it arose during his employment and the injuries hinder his abilities. The Commissioner of Employees Compensation, Delhi heard his case (no. WC/113/NW/11/1175) and on April 28, 2016 ordered the insurance company to pay Rs 7.86 lakh with 12% interest per annum with effect from July 22, 2010 till it is paid under the Employee's Compensation Act, 1923.
