Employer and contractor
Employer and contractor, the employer is one who employs, i.e., one who engages the services of other persons. The employee is one who works for another for hire. The employment is the contract of service between the employer and the employee where under the employee agrees to serve the employer subject to his control and supervision. A 'contractor' is a person who, in the pursuit of an independent business, undertakes to do specific jobs of work for other persons, without submitting himself to their control in respect to the details to the work'. There is a clear-cut distinction between a contractor and a workman. The identifying mark of the latter is that he should be under the control and supervision of the employer in respect of the details of the work, Chintaman Rao v.

Arising out of his employment
Arising out of his employment, Literal construction of the phrase 'arising out of his employment conveys the idea that there must be some sort of connection between the employment and the injury caused to a workman due to the accident. But it is wide enough to cover the case where there may not necessarily be a direct connection of the workman. There may be circumstances tending to show that the workman received personal injury due to the accident that arose during the course of or out of his employment. It would not mean that personal injury only must have resulted from the mere nature of the employment, nor it be limited to cases where the personal injury is referable to duties which the employee has to discharge. The phrase 'arising out of the employment' applies to employment as such-to its nature, its conditions, by reason of which its workman is brought within the zone of danger and resultant injury, disease or death, Regional Director, ESI Corpn v.
