Claim under workmen’s compensation act against insurance co.

gourav (Querist) 17 August 2012 This query is : Resolved
Sir,
My humble submission before your good selves is that During the course of employment with owner of vehicle-Tata 407, a driver died due to burn injuries as the vehicle caught fire suddenly on the way while driving. A claim has been filed by widow before Labour court under workmen’s Compensation Act against the owner of the vehicle. The Owner has taken defence that Insurance Co. is necessary party as vehicle was insured. During proceedings, Insurance Co. has been made as respondent No.2. My query in this case for which I need guidance is as to whether Insurance Co. can be held liable by labour court.
