An instance of an accident has come across the ESIC where the employer has not submitted the relevant records which led to the temporary closure of the case by the concerned Branch Manager. This, consequently, led to undue delay and caused a lot of inconvenience to the dependants. Owing to this case, the ESIC have sent a circular to all the regional and sub-regional offices of the ESI Corporation and advised them to issue the relevant instructions to all the Branch Managers to take all the necessary actions for a fair and speedy disposal of such pending cases. It is also instructed that no Branch Manager shall temporarily close the case and on the account of wilful non-production of records by the employer, necessary legal action may be taken in accordance with the provisions under the ESI Act, 1948 and ESI (Central) Rules, 1950. However, the prosecution action against the employers shall be taken only in rare circumstances and shall not be considered a norm.
