ABDUL WAHED v. MUHAMMAD RAZZAQ t/a KHUSSA PALACE

Citation

ABDUL WAHED v. MUHAMMAD RAZZAQ t/a KHUSSA PALACE
Court

District Court
Case number

DCEC456/2007

Claimant's multiple inconsistent accounts and the physical evidence (photographs and shop layout) rendered his version not credible; Court accepted respondent's account that there was a dismissal and that claimant failed to prove the injury resulted from an accident in the course of employment, therefore claimant's compensation claim is dismissed.
