JUDGMENT : DHIRAJ SINGH THAKUR, J. 1. The instant appeal has been preferred against the order dated 31.03.2016, passed by the Commissioner under the Employees Compensation Act. On the face of it, the appeal appears to be not maintainable in view of the fact that the certificate of deposit with the Commissioner under the Employees Compensation Act is dated 23.06.2016, whereas the present appeal has been filed on 20.06.2016. 2. Third proviso to Section 30 of the Employees Compensation Act, 1923 envisages that no appeal under clause (a) shall lie unless the memorandum of appeal is accompanied by a certificate of deposit issued by the Commissioner to the effect that the appellant has deposited with him the amount payable under the order appealed against. 3. A Division Bench of this Court in Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Ishwar Lal & Ors., 2008 (1) JKJ 339 [HC] : JKJ Soft JKJ/21405, LPA (C) No. 16/2007, has clearly held that an insurer, who files an appeal under Section 30 of the Act of 1923, steps into the shoes of the employer, to indemnify the liability of the employer in terms of the insurance policy and further that the insurer does not have any better right than the employer in maintaining the appeal. 4. The ratio of the judgment (supra), applies clearly to the facts and circumstances of the present cases also. The present appeal is clearly not maintainable in view of the failure of the appellant to deposit the entire awarded amount. The present appeal is, accordingly, dismissed along with connected application(s).
