The Text below is only a summarized version of the order pronounced

X died due to lightening while she was engaged in doing work for appellant. High Court held that
liability of appellant under Act was wide enough to cover a case of this nature as death had occurred
in course of accident. On appeal Supreme Court held that where injury has no connection with
employment she can still recover compensation by showing that such employment exposed her such
injury.
