LIABILITY OF CONTRIBUTION ON LABOUR CHARGES - CURRENT SCENARIO

(FOCUS : JOB WORK)

Quick reference

ESIC had occasions to receive a number of representations from different Associations of Employers, Export Bodies of Employers and individual Employers from various quarters expressing the difficulties faced by them in covering the employees engaged by them through immediate employers / contractors on jobs outsourced.

Recently, the Hon’ble High Courts of Madras, Madhya Pradesh and
Karnataka have given their judgements in the following cases in which the
aspect of supervision has been discussed in the light of the judgement of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of CESC and others Vs. Subhash
Chandra Bose & others (AIR 1992-SC Page 573 (1992) 1 SCC 441):-

1. Judgement dated 24.7.2007 in CMA (NPD) No.1765 of 1999 between ESI Corporation V/s. Bethall Engineering Company before Hon’ble High Court of Madras.

2.Judgement dated 15.3.2007 in MA No.606/2003 between National India Rubber Works Ltd. V/s. ESI Corporation before Hon’ble High Court of Madhya Pradesh

3. Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka vide Judgement dated 15.7.2006 in MFA No.1089/2001 between ESIC V/s. JMD Fashions.

Keeping in view the representations received from the employers, their associations as well as the judgements referred above, the matter has been re-examined by ESIC in its entirety.
