Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the Special Leave Petition filed by the Employees State Insurance Corporation against the High Court's order, which had affirmed the Employees State Insurance Court's decision in favor of M/s Texmo Industries. The court held that the Respondent Company was compliant with the provisions of the Employees State Insurance Act, and the discrepancies noted during the inspection did not warrant overturning the lower court's ruling. The judgment reinforces the obligations of employers under the ESI Act regarding employee insurance contributions and record maintenance.
