It<br \/>\n          came into existence on  1.2.1994.    It  is  a  company<br \/>\n          engaged in a family business of conducting hotel.  Even<br \/>\n          before the formation of the company, the hotel business<br \/>\n          was being  conducted.  There was a restaurant and a bar<br \/>\n          attached to the  hotel  by  name  Dwaraka  Hotel.    As<br \/>\n          regards  the  coverage  of the employees engaged in the<br \/>\n          hotel including the bar, there were disputes  including<br \/>\n          as  to  whether  bar  was  a  different  establishment.<br \/>\n          Finally, the matter went up to the  Supreme  Court  and<br \/>\n          the employer  could  not  succeed.  Later, the employer<br \/>\n          filed an application seeking de-coverage from  the  Act<br \/>\n          from 1.10.1989.      That   was  not  accepted  by  the<br \/>\n          Employees&#8217; State Insurance Corporation  on  the  ground<br \/>\n          that  bar  and  restaurant  were part and parcel of the<br \/>\n          hotel business.  It  was  thereafter  the  company  was<br \/>\n          formed with  the  name &#8220;Vrindavan Hotels Limited&#8221;.  The<br \/>\n          restaurant facility available in the  hotel  was  being<br \/>\n          run  by  a  lessee,  who  had  been  employing  his own<br \/>\n          workmen.   In  spite  of  that,  the  Employees&#8217;  State<br \/>\n          Insurance  Corporation clubbed the lodge as well as the<br \/>\n          restaurant together for the  purpose  of  coverage  and<br \/>\n          issued   Ext.C18   notice  of  assessment  and  Ext.C19<br \/>\n          recovery notice.  It was in  the  above  circumstances,<br \/>\n          the employer filed an application before the Employees&#8217;<br \/>\n          Insurance    Court   for   a   declaration   that   his<br \/>\n          establishment became de-covered from the purview of the<br \/>\n          E.S.I.Scheme with effect from 1.10.1998.   Taking  into<br \/>\n          account   the  history  of  the  establishment  it  was<br \/>\n          contended that the restaurant was an  inseparable  part<br \/>\n          of the hotel business of the company that the lodge and<br \/>\n          restaurant were integral part and that the employees in<br \/>\n          both  the  sections  have  to be taken together for the<br \/>\n          purpose of coverage under the Act and the Scheme.    In<br \/>\n          support  of this contention, the ESI Corporation relied<br \/>\n          on the memorandum of association of the company wherein<br \/>\n          one among the main objects was to carry on business  of<br \/>\n          the restaurant as well.\n<\/p>\n<p>          \t2.    Appreciating   this  contention  and  the<br \/>\n          evidence on record, the EI court found that the  lessee<br \/>\n          was  really  an agent of the company and therefore, the<br \/>\n          restaurant was not a  separate  establishment  and  the<br \/>\n          employees in both the sections have to be taken for the<br \/>\n          purpose of  coverage  under  the  ESI  scheme.  This is<br \/>\n          under challenge in this appeal at the instance of  that<br \/>\n          company.\n<\/p>\n<p>          \t3.   It  is  contended  by  the  appellant that<br \/>\n          though the memorandum of association contains that  the<br \/>\n          company  does  have an object of conducting restaurant,<br \/>\n          it is not obligatory always to conduct the  restaurant.<br \/>\n          It  can  also  lease  out the space in its ownership to<br \/>\n          another to conduct the restaurant on  lease  basis  and<br \/>\n          really  a  lease  deed  was  executed as is revealed by<br \/>\n          Ext.D3.  It provided that the lessee has to arrange his<br \/>\n          own workmen.  Therefore the lessee is the employer  and<br \/>\n          not the company &#8211; the lessor.\n<\/p>\n<p>          \t4.   In  support of this contention, a decision<br \/>\n          of the Andhra Pradesh High Court reported in K.V.Ratnam@@<br \/>\n                                                       AAAAAAAAAA<br \/>\n          v.  Government of India and another {1987 Lab.I.C.1288}@@<br \/>\n          AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA<br \/>\n          is relied on.    Another  decision  of  this  court  in<br \/>\n          <a href=\"\/doc\/1286765\/\">K.C.Thomas v.     Regional  Director,  ESI  Corporation<\/a>@@<br \/>\n          AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA<br \/>\n          {1997(1) K.L.J 321}is also relied on.   It  is  further@@<br \/>\n          AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA<br \/>\n          contended  that  there  ought to have been a show cause<br \/>\n          notice under Section  45(a)  of  the  Employees&#8217;  State<br \/>\n          Insurance Act,  1948  before determination.  Therefore,<br \/>\n          the  recovery,  without  such  show  cause  notice  and<br \/>\n          hearing is  illegal.    Reliance  is much placed on the<br \/>\n          decision reported in  Fenner  Garments  v.    E.S.I.C.,@@<br \/>\n                                AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA<br \/>\n          Madras {1994(2) LLJ 754}.@@<br \/>\n          AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA\n<\/p>\n<p>          \t5.   On  the other hand, it is submitted by the<br \/>\n          E.S.I.Corporation that the restaurant  is  an  integral<br \/>\n          part of  the  hotel  business of the appellant.  Merely<br \/>\n          because  a  lease  arrangement  is  made  between   the<br \/>\n          parties,  it will not make it a different establishment<br \/>\n          having a distinct entity.    Even  in  the  lease  deed<br \/>\n          Ext.D3,   the  appellant  company  is  insisting  about<br \/>\n          employment  of  necessary  persons  and   running   the<br \/>\n          restaurant in   a   proper  manner.    That  itself  is<br \/>\n          sufficient to make it clear that restaurant  is  not  a<br \/>\n          separate business  of  the company.  The lessee is none<br \/>\n          other than the husband of one  among  the  major  share<br \/>\n          holders in the company.  Much reliance is placed on the<br \/>\n          decision     reported    in    Madona    Textiles    v.@@<br \/>\n                                         AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA<br \/>\n          E.S.I.Corporation {20002 (2) K.L.T.  741}.    There  is@@<br \/>\n          AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA<br \/>\n          unity of ownership, management and control and unity of<br \/>\n          employment and with its functional integrity and unity,<br \/>\n          the  lodging house as well as the restaurant shall have<br \/>\n          to be taken as joint establishment run by the  company.<br \/>\n          When  it  is viewed so, the number of employees will be<br \/>\n          more than 20 resulting in coverage.  So,  there  is  no<br \/>\n          reason to interfere with the impugned order.\n<\/p>\n<p>          \t6.  Ext.D3 is a lease deed even  admittedly  by<br \/>\n          the respondent.  Merely because the lessor had insisted<br \/>\n          proper  running  of  the restaurant after employing the<br \/>\n          necessary workmen by the lessee,  it  cannot  be  taken<br \/>\n          that the restaurant is under the same management of the<br \/>\n          company.   Of  course,  the  decision  in  K.C.Thomas&#8217;s@@<br \/>\n                                                     AAAAAAAAAAAA<br \/>\n          case{1997(1) K.L.J.321} relied on by the appellant does@@<br \/>\n          AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA<br \/>\n          not have application to the facts of this case.  It  is<br \/>\n          regarding  leasing out a factory altogether to a lessee<br \/>\n          whereby the owner will cease to become  liable  to  pay<br \/>\n          contribution.   But  the fact situation in the decision<br \/>\n          of the Andhra Pradesh High Court in  Ratnam&#8217;s  case  is@@<br \/>\n                                               AAAAAAAAAAAAAA<br \/>\n          similar to  the  one  arising  on the case on hand.  In<br \/>\n          Ratnam&#8217;s case, there was a lodge and a  restaurant  and@@<br \/>\n          AAAAAAAAAAAAA<br \/>\n          the  restaurant  was  leased out to a different person.<br \/>\n          Considering such a situation, the Andhra  Pradesh  High<br \/>\n          Court held that:\n<\/p>\n<p>           &#8220;To  attract  the  application  of  the  act in@@<br \/>\n          i<br \/>\n                  respect  of  the  employees  engaged   in   the<br \/>\n                  restaurant   section  being  clubbed  with  the<br \/>\n                  employees engaged in the lodging section, these<br \/>\n                  two  in   my   judgment   are   different   and<br \/>\n                  independent  establishments and, therefore, for<br \/>\n                  each establishment the criteria laid down under<br \/>\n                  the  Act  will  have  to  be  satisfied  before<br \/>\n                  attracting the application of the Act.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>          Merely because the lessee is the husband of  one  among<br \/>\n          the  major  share  holders of the company, it cannot be<br \/>\n          taken that  the  restaurant  is  a  part  of  the  same<br \/>\n          establishment as the lodge run by the company.\n<\/p>\n<p>          \t7.    It  is  true  that  the  running  of  the<br \/>\n          restaurant is also one  of  the  main  objects  of  the<br \/>\n          company as per the memorandum of association.  But that<br \/>\n          does  not  mean  that  the company shall always run the<br \/>\n          establishments  and   businesses   mentioned   in   the<br \/>\n          memorandum of association.  Even if sufficient space is<br \/>\n          owned  by  the  company  to  do  such business, nothing<br \/>\n          prevents the company from leasing out the premises  for<br \/>\n          doing some  other business.  Therefore, the stipulation<br \/>\n          in the memorandum of association of the company  cannot<br \/>\n          go against  the  contention  of  the  company.\n<\/p>\n<p>          \t8.  In such circumstances, we are  inclined  to<br \/>\n          accept  the view taken by the Andhra Pradesh High Court<br \/>\n          to hold that the restaurant run on lease basis  has  to<br \/>\n          be  taken as a separate establishment and the employees<br \/>\n          therein cannot be  clubbed  to  the  employees  in  the<br \/>\n          lodging house  to  decide  coverage.    The decision in<br \/>\n          Madona Textiles cited by the respondents  do  not  have@@<br \/>\n          AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA<br \/>\n          any  application  to  the facts situation of this case.<br \/>\n          There is no unity  of  ownership,  management  and  the<br \/>\n          company  does not have control in that business, as the<br \/>\n          restaurant is run, based on  a  lease  by  a  different<br \/>\n          person.   It  has  to  be managed by the lessee and the<br \/>\n          employees are to be controlled by him  and  the  lessor<br \/>\n          does not have any role in that regard.  So, there is no<br \/>\n          functional integrity even.\n<\/p>\n<p>          \tAccordingly the appeal is allowed and the order<br \/>\n          under challenge is set aside.
