What are the liabilities of the company in this case or What are the legal issues involved in it?
Please help.

Dear,
As per factory Act, the person in question will be a worker, and the employer will be under obligation for payment of compensation under Workmen compensation Act.
Leagally this workmen is a worker of the civil contractor, in absence of contractor the principal employer will be leaglly boud to pay the compensation.
Go through the contract made with the civil contractor.
Thanks

Hi Prasad,
Altimate liability lies with the owner of the factory.
If the contract agreement with the civil contractor is silent on workmen compensation and no insurance is there for the workmen, then owner has to bear.

Dear Mohd. Arif Khan & Parasurampur,
Thanks for your reply. There is no such work contract between the company & civil contractor. Only verbal agreement regarding the work.

dear
in this case principle employer will be responsible for all misshappenings.better to sort out the matter.
