Abstract

The regulation of employment safety particularly under the “Dying in Harness” provisions in India represents a critical intersection of labor law social welfare and human rights. These regulations are designed to provide financial security compensation and support to employees or their dependents in cases of death during the course of employment. Judicial pronouncements related to Dying in Harness (DIH) regulations have established interpretive frameworks clarified the scope of employer liability and ensured equitable access to benefits. This research paper examines significant Indian judgments on DIH regulations analyzing their legal reasoning impact on labor welfare and broader socio-economic implications.

The paper highlights key trends in judicial interpretation identifi
