Dear Kanhaiah,
In the course of employment, if the injury or death is attributable to the employer then employer is liable to pay the compensation. Employer cannot wash his hands off just by including clause on non-compensation in the appointment letter.
Workers Compensation Act covers the conditions under which employer is liable to pay the compensation. Conditions of employment mentioned in the appointment letter cannot override the acts passed by the parliament.
Thanks,
