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. Francis De Costa, 1993 Supp (4...
