Abstract

The E.S.I. Act of India is a wide-ranging welfare system which is created to provide working individuals and their families with social as well as economic safety. The Employees’ State Insurance Corporation is the primary corporate authority in charge of the complete scheme. This plan is focused on workplace injuries and prohibits workers from collecting compensation under any other legislation if they are covered under the ESI Act. The author of this article deals with the controversy of dual compensation through various judicial pronouncements. The capacity to sue based on substantive law cannot be extinguished by a procedural clause in Section 53 or Section 61 of the E.S.I. Act of 1948.
