Which of the following can be said to be classified as partial disablement?
1. In case the disablement is temporary, it reduces the earning capacity of the employee in any employment in which he was engaged at the time of the accident
2. In case the disablement is temporary, it disables the person from performing all works that he was capable of performing at the time of the accident
3. In case the disablement is permanent, it reduces his earning capacity in every employment he was capable of undertaking at the time of the accident
Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Explanation
Under the Employee's Compensation Act, 1923, Section 2(1)(g) defines "partial disablement". It distinguishes between temporary and permanent nature:
- Temporary Partial Disablement: This is disablement that reduces the earning capacity of an employee in the specific employment in which he was engaged at the time of the accident. This matches Statement 1.
- Permanent Partial Disablement: This is disablement that reduces the earning capacity of an employee in every employment which he was capable of undertaking at the time of the accident. This matches Statement 3.
Statement 2 is incorrect because it describes "total disablement". According to Section 2(1)(l), total disablement is that which incapacitates an employee for all work which he was capable of performing at the time of the accident, rather than just reducing earning capacity in a specific or general sense.
