The Bombay High Court ruled that the relatives of a truck driver who died of a heart attack were entitled to compensation because the deceased was under mental duress at the time of his death. The single-judge bench ruled that the deceased driver's heart attack was an accident arising out of and in the course of his job, as defined under Section 3 of the Workman's Compensation Act. The High Court allowed an appeal filed by the motorman's kin in 2007 and ordered the travel business owner and insurance company to pay Rs 2,78,260 to the motorman's kin plus interest at a rate of 12% per year from December 3, 2003. The court also ordered the owner to pay costs of Rs. 25,000. On November 3, 2003, truck driver Vishakha Singh died of coronary artery heart disease while driving a truck back from Ranchi to Mumbai in Nashik. Singh had been on the road for 17–18 days before the incident, according to his family, and died as a result of the stress and strain of his job. The driver died of natural causes, according to the Laborer Court. There was no proof that his death was linked to his work as a driver, especially because no cleaner was investigated. It was stated that simply working for the travel company at the time of his death was insufficient. The High Court, on the other hand, found that the driver was under the stress and strain of long-distance traveling for nearly 18 days in difficult conditions, which contributed to his death.
