This hearing is being conducted through hybrid mode. 2.

None appeared on behalf of the Appellant when the matter was called.

Perusal of the record would show that no one has been appearing for the Appellant. No appearance was filed on 13.10.2023, 21.08.2024, and lastly on 08.10.2024.

4.

The Appellant is aggrieved by the impugned judgment dated 22.08.2016, passed by the learned Commissioner, Employee's Compensation, wherein the Appellant was held to be the owner of the registered vehicle in question, which was involved in the death of the deceased workman. Consequently, a compensation has been awarded to the Respondents/Claimants to the tune of Rs. 8,30,000/-. 5.
