Narender Dagar v. Pritam Kumar & Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
The court examined whether strict procedural rules apply when a petitioner submits a late document due to illiteracy. Recognizing MACT proceedings as inquisitorial rather than adversarial, the court treated it as a fit case for remand instead of dismissal.
What did the court decide?
The case was remanded back to the Tribunal to enable the petitioner to prove the disability certificate and pass a reasoned Award.
