Dear All,
Help me understand if the employee met with an accident while going home will it be considered under WC policy as accident arising out of the course of employment?
If yes a judgement regarding the same would be helpful.

Both ways it can be interpreted. Different courts passed different judgement, depending on the circumstances of how the accident occurred. The workmen after the working hours leaves the Factory premises on his way to home, he is exposed to public hazard also, and any accident by /on vehicle the compensation can be claimed based on Motor Vehicle Insurance Act. Notional extension of working hours( from Factory to Home and to Factory) could be established, depending on his regular and short route, and establishing the fact he did not attend to nay personal work on this hours, and not exposed to any public hazard. If the workmen met with an accident while travelling in company's vehicle then the accident to be considered while on duty. Which ever beneficial to the workmen could be filed for claim of compensation. Mostly compensation decided depends on the circumstances.
