The main function of this office is to inquire into the claims made by the workmen who meet with accidents in the course of their employment. Although the name sounds like a normal Government Department, its functions are entirely judicial. The Commissioner, Additional Commissioner and the Deputy Commissioner are full time Judicial Officers. The office of the Commissioner for Workmen’s Compensation is vested with both District Court and Magisterial powers in enforcing its orders.
