The Deputy Director Sub Regional Office (Madurai) Employees State Insurance Corporation – Madras High Court

Hon’ble High Court held that as per Section 93-A of the E.S.I. Act, whenever a transfer of an establishment takes place, the Corporation is at liberty to proceed either against the transferor or against the transferee or against both of them.

It is pertinent to point out that the contribution relates to the period between November 1999 and August 2000. During the said period the establishment was under the management of the appellant.
