If personal injury is caused to a workman by accident arising out of and in the course of his employment, his employer shall be liable to pay compensation in accordance with the provisions of Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923. If the deceased employee met with his death while he was going to his place of work and the death has arisen during the course of employment, then the employer is liable for compensation.
