The doctrine of notional extensions is applicable in which one of the following Laws?

The Doctrine of Notional Extension is a legal principle primarily applicable to The Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923 (now renamed the Employees' Compensation Act, 1923). This doctrine is used to interpret the phrase "arising out of and in the course of employment" found in Section 3 of the Act.

According to this doctrine, the scope of employment is not strictly limited to the physical boundaries of the factory or the exact working hours. It extends to include the time and place where an employee is traveling to or from work, provided that the employee is using a means of transport provided by the employer or is following a route necessitated by the employment. The Supreme Court of India has applied this doctrine in several landmark cases to ensure social security benefits for workers injured during such incidental periods of their employment.
