JUSTICE HEMANT M. PRACHCHHAK Date : 25/11/2025 ORAL ORDER 1. Present petition is led against the impugned order passed under the Workman Compensation Act by the learned Workman Commissioner, Jamnagar in Workman Compensation (Non Fatal) Case No. 16 of 2018. 2. Heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respective parties. Perused the material placed on record. 3. The contention raised by the petitioner that the learned Commissioner without considering the record and material produced before the Court passed the order and held the petitioner as liable to pay compensation. However, considering the submission, prima facie it appears that the order of the learned Workman Commissioner is required to be challenged under the provisions of Section 30 of the Workman Compensation Act before the Appellate Authority, but instead of that present petition is led before this Court. C/SCA/2362/2024 ORDER DATED: 25/11/2025 4. Now, in view of the reported decision of the Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of Purni Devi Vs. Babu Ram reported in 2024 INSC 259 = 2024 (4) SCR 37, the period of limitation can be considered by the concerned Bench who is taking up the First Appeal against the order of the Commissioner. 5. In view of the above, the present petition is hereby dismissed. However, it is open for the petitioner to prefer appropriate proceedings under the Workman Compensation Act before the appropriate authority. Notice discharged. There shall be no order as to costs.
