Employment
Employment, the word 'employment' is not a word with a single fixed meaning but it has many connotations. On the one side it may bear the narrow meaning of relationship of employer and employee and on the other, it may mean in its widest connotation any engagement or any work in which one is engaged. If the former be the sense in which the word 'employment' is used in clause (d) of Article 319, the office of Governor would certainly not be an employment, because the Governor of a State is not an employee or servant of anyone, Hargovind Pant v. Dr. Raghukul Tilak, (1979) 3 SCC 458: (1979) 3 SCR 972.The word 'employment' must be construed as emp-loyment in the regular course of business of the establishment. Such employment obviously would not include employment of a few persons for a short period on account of some passing necessity or some temporary emergency beyond the control of the company, P.F. Inspector v. T.S. Hariharan, AIR 1971 SC 1519 (1524): (1971) 2 SCC 68.The concept of emp...
Common employment
Common employment. The general rule that a master is liable for damage caused by the negligence of his servant has the exception that where the person injured is the fellow-servant of and engaged in common employment with the person whose negligence causes the injury, the master is not liable in an action at Common law. The principle upon which the exception rests is that 'a servant who engages for the performance of services for compensation does as an implied part of the contract take upon himself, as between himself and his master, the natural risks and perils incident to the performance of such services; the presumption of law being that the compensation was adjusted accordingly, or, in other words, that these risks are considered in the wages' [per Balckburn, J., Morgan v. Vale of Neath R. Co., (1864) 5 B&S 578]. For review of cases, see Bray, J., in Cribb v. Kynoch, Ltd., (1907) 2 KB 548. The doctrine applies in spite of difference in rank or grade between the two servants, e.g.,...
