At any point of time,<br \/>\nunder the petitioner more than 18 employees have not been served.  Therefore,<br \/>\nthe petitioner has not come within the purview of Employees&#8217; State Insurance Act<br \/>\n(34 of 1948).  The Inspector of the respondent has inspected the petitioner on<br \/>\nseveral occasions and subsequently a notice has been issued, wherein it has been<br \/>\nstated that from 01.04.1987 to 30.06.1990 the petitioner has to pay Rs.7,488.75<br \/>\npaise towards premium and further it has been directed that the petitioner<br \/>\nshould make personal appearance on 24.12.1990.  The petitioner has given a reply<br \/>\nnotice dated 19.12.1990. The persons namely Periyannan, Somasundaram &amp; Shanmugam<br \/>\nhave served as partners of the petitioner and therefore, the petitioner is not<br \/>\nliable to pay the amount demanded by the respondent.  Further it is stated in<br \/>\nthe petitions that as per notice dated 27.07.1990 the petitioner is not liable<br \/>\nto pay the amount of Rs.26,085.70 paise to the respondent.  Under the said<br \/>\ncircumstances, with regard to the amount of Rs.7,488.75 paise, ESIOP No.12 of<br \/>\n2001 has been filed and likewise, with regard to the amount of Rs.26,085.70<br \/>\npaise, ESIOP No.20 of 2001 has been filed.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t4.On the side of the respondent in both the petitions detailed<br \/>\ncounter has been filed, wherein it has been stated that the Inspector of the<br \/>\nrespondent has inspected the petitioner on 07.04.1988 and ultimately found that<br \/>\nfrom 01.04.1987 to 30.06.1990 the petitioner is bound to pay Rs.7,488.75 paise<br \/>\ntowards premium and likewise, as per notice dated 27.07.1990 the petitioner is<br \/>\nliable to pay Rs.26,085.70 paise towards premium.  Under the said circumstances,<br \/>\nthe petitioner has been given the concerned notices and therefore, the present<br \/>\npetitions deserve dismissal.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t5.The Court below, after considering the divergent contentions<br \/>\nraised on either side, has allowed both the petitions and ultimately set aside<br \/>\nthe notices issued by the respondent to the petitioner.  Against the common<br \/>\norder passed by the Court below, the present civil miscellaneous appeals have<br \/>\nbeen filed.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t6.Since common questions of law and facts are involved in both the<br \/>\ncivil miscellaneous appeals, common judgment is pronounced.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t7.The sum and substance of the contention urged on the side of the<br \/>\npetitioner is that the petitioner is a partnership firm and at any point of<br \/>\ntime, the petitioner has not employed more than 18 employees and therefore, the<br \/>\npetitioner would not come within the purview of Employees&#8217; State Insurance Act<br \/>\n(34 of 1948) and the respondent has unnecessarily issued the notices in question<br \/>\nand thereby directed the petitioner to pay the amounts mentioned therein and in<br \/>\norder to set aside the same, the present petitions have been filed.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t8.In order to remonstrate the contention urged on the side of the<br \/>\npetitioner, it is stated on the side of the respondent that the petitioner has<br \/>\nbeen inspected on various occasions and no acceptable answers have been given<br \/>\nand under the said circumstances, the notices in question have been issued to<br \/>\nthe petitioner and thereby directed the petitioner to pay the amounts mentioned<br \/>\ntherein towards premium and therefore, the petitioner is not entitled to get the<br \/>\nreliefs sought for in the petitions.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t9.The only point that has now winched to the fore is;\n<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;Whether the petitioner would come within the contour of Employees&#8217; State<br \/>\nInsurance Act (34 of 1948)?&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t10.The learned counsel appearing for the appellant\/respondent has<br \/>\nrepeatedly contended that during the relevant period, under the petitioner more<br \/>\nthan twenty employees have served and under the said circumstances, the<br \/>\nrespondent has issued the order dated 16.01.1992 and thereby directed the<br \/>\npetitioner to pay Rs.7,488.75 paise and likewise, the respondent has issued<br \/>\nanother order dated 25.01.1991 and 18.06.1991 and thereby directed the<br \/>\npetitioner to pay Rs.26,085.70 paise and it is false to contend that the persons<br \/>\nnamely Periyannan, Somasundaram &amp; Shanmugam are the partners of the petitioner<br \/>\nand they are the employees of the petitioner and the Court below, without<br \/>\nconsidering the contentions urged on the side of the appellant\/respondent, has<br \/>\nerroneously allowed ESIOP Nos.12 of 2001 &amp; 20 of 2001, and therefore, the common<br \/>\norder passed by the Court below is liable to be set aside.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t11.Per contra, the learned counsel appearing for the<br \/>\nrespondent\/petitioner has also equally contended that the petitioner is a<br \/>\npartnership firm and at any point of time, the petitioner has not employed more<br \/>\nthan 18 employees and the persons namely Periyannan, Somasundaram &amp; Shanmugam<br \/>\nhave been appointed only to look after the business of the petitioner and they<br \/>\nhave not been given wages and for the service to be done by them, only<br \/>\nrenumeration would be given out of profits and they are not the employees of the<br \/>\npetitioner and the Court below, after considering the rival contentions raised<br \/>\non either side, has rightly allowed the petitions and therefore, the argument<br \/>\nadvanced by the learned counsel appearing for the appellant\/respondent is liable<br \/>\nto be rejected and altogether the present civil miscellaneous appeals deserve<br \/>\ndismissal.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t12.As adverted to earlier, the specific contention of the<br \/>\nrespondent\/petitioner is that the persons namely Periyannan, Somasundaram &amp;<br \/>\nShanmugam are not the employees of the petitioner and they have been directed to<br \/>\nlook after the business of the petitioner and for their service remuneration<br \/>\nwould be paid out of  profits.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t13.The entire case of the respondent\/petitioner hinges upon Ex.A22.<br \/>\nEx.A22 is an agreement which has come into existence between A.K.K.Karuppiah and<br \/>\nthe persons namely Periyannan, Somasundaram &amp; Shanmugam.  In Ex.A22, it has been<br \/>\nclearly stated that the persons namely Periyannan, Somasundaram &amp; Shanmugam have<br \/>\nto look after the business of the petitioner and they would be paid renumeration<br \/>\nto the extent of 20% from net profits.  From the close reading of Ex.A22, the<br \/>\nCourt can unflinchingly come to a conclusion that the persons namely Periyannan,<br \/>\nSomasundaram &amp; Shanmugam are not the employees of the petitioner.  Under Ex.A22<br \/>\na power has been given to them so as to administer the petitioner. Since the<br \/>\nsaid persons have not been appointed as employees of the petitioner and since<br \/>\nthey agreed to receive 20% out of net profits by way of renumeration, the Court<br \/>\ncannot come to a conclusion that they are the employees of the petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t14.At this juncture, it would be more useful to look into the<br \/>\nfollowing decisions;\n<\/p>\n<p>\t a)In AIR 1985 Supreme Court Cases 278 (Regional Director, Employees&#8217;<br \/>\nState Insurance Corporation, Trichur  Vs. Ramanuja Match Industries), the<br \/>\nHonourable Apex Court has held as follows;\n<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;A partner who belongs to the class of employer cannot rank as employee<br \/>\nbecause he also works for wages for the partnership. Undoubtedly the term<br \/>\nemployee is the correlative of employer.  In common parlance the status of a<br \/>\npartner qua the firm is different from employees working under the firm, it may<br \/>\nbe that a partner is being paid some remuneration for any special attention<br \/>\nwhich he devotes but that would not involve any change of status and bring him<br \/>\nwithin the definition of employee.  The contention that on the basis of the<br \/>\nstatute being beneficial, a partner should also count as an employee is<br \/>\nunsustainable.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\tb)In AIR 1963 Supreme Court 1737 (Champaran Cane Concern  Vs. State<br \/>\nof Bihar) the Honourable Apex Court has held that in a partnership each partner<br \/>\nacts as an agent of the other.  The position of a partner qua the firm is thus<br \/>\nnot that of a master and a servant or employer and employee which concept<br \/>\ninvolves an element of subordination but that of equality. The partnership<br \/>\nbusiness belongs to the partners and each one of them is an owner thereof.  In<br \/>\ncommon parlance the status of a partner qua the firm is thus different from<br \/>\nemployees working under the firm, it may be that a partner is being paid some<br \/>\nremuneration for any special attention which he devotes but that would not<br \/>\ninvolve any change of status and bring him within the definition of employee.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t15.From the close reading of the decisions referred to earlier, it<br \/>\nis pellucid that the person who is being paid some renumeration for any special<br \/>\nattention, would not come within the contour of Employees&#8217; State Insurance Act<br \/>\n(34 of 1948).\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t16.In the present civil miscellaneous appeals the main contention of<br \/>\nthe appellant\/respondent is that the said three persons are also employees of<br \/>\nthe respondent\/petitioner. It has already been pointed out that as per Ex.A22,<br \/>\nthe said three persons have been appointed only to look after the administration<br \/>\nof the petitioner and they have not been paid monthly salary and for the service<br \/>\nto be done by them, they would get only renumeration at the rate of 20% out of<br \/>\nnet profits.  At the most they can be called as power of attorney agents of the<br \/>\npetitioner.  As per the dictum rendered by the Honourable Apex Court, the<br \/>\npersons who have been appointed under Ex.A22, cannot be treated as employees of<br \/>\nthe respondent\/petitioner.  Since the persons who have been appointed under<br \/>\nEx.A22 cannot be treated as employees, it is needless to say that the provision<br \/>\nof Employees&#8217; State Insurance Act (34 of 1948) would not apply to the<br \/>\npetitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t17.In the light of the discussion made earlier, it is very clear<br \/>\nthat the argument advanced by the learned counsel appearing for the appellant\/<br \/>\nrespondent does not hold good and whereas the argument advanced by the learned<br \/>\ncounsel appearing for the respondent\/petitioner is really having subsisting<br \/>\nforce.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t18.The next contention urged by the learned counsel appearing for<br \/>\nthe appellant\/respondent is that the petition has filed only a xerox copy of the<br \/>\npartnership deed and the same is inadmissible in evidence and the Court below<br \/>\nwithout considering the admissibility of the same, has erroneously relied upon<br \/>\nthe same and therefore, common order passed by the Court below is liable to be<br \/>\nset aside.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t19.Of-course, it is true that Ex.A21 is a xerox copy of partnership<br \/>\ndeed dated 01.04.1984.  At the time of marking Ex.A21, no objection has been<br \/>\nraised on the side of the appellant\/respondent.  Even assuming without conceding<br \/>\nthat Ex.A21 is inadmissible in evidence, as per Ex.A22 the Court cannot come to<br \/>\na conclusion that the provision of Employees&#8217; State Insurance Act (34 of 1948),<br \/>\nwould cover the petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t20.In order to analyse the aforesaid legal position, it would be<br \/>\nmore useful to look into the decision reported in 2003(8) Supreme Court Cases<br \/>\n752 (R.V.E.Venkatachala Gounder Vs. Arulmigu Viswesaraswami  &amp; V.P. Temple and<br \/>\nanother), wherein the Honourable Apex Court has culled out the stage at which<br \/>\nobjection can be raised with regard to secondary evidence;\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\tA)Objection that the document sought to be proved is itself<br \/>\ninadmissible; and<br \/>\n\t\tB)Objection directed not against the admissibility of the document<br \/>\nbut against the mode of proof thereof on the ground of irregularity or<br \/>\ninsufficiency.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\tThe objection under category &#8216;A&#8217; can be raised even after the<br \/>\ndocument has been marked as an exhibit or even an appeal or revision.  But, the<br \/>\nobjection under category &#8216;B&#8217; can be raised when the evidence is tendered but not<br \/>\nafter the document has been admitted in evidence and marked as an exhibit.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t21.In the instant case, as animadverted to earlier, no valid<br \/>\nobjection has been raised at the time of marking Ex.A21 either with regard to<br \/>\nthe admissibility  of the same or with regard to the mode of proof thereof.<br \/>\nTherefore, the second contention raised on the side of the appellant\/respondent<br \/>\nis also sans merit.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t22.The Court below, after considering all the contentions raised on<br \/>\neither side, has rightly allowed the petitions.  In view of the foregoing<br \/>\nnarration of both the factual and legal aspects, this Court has not found any<br \/>\nillegality nor infirmity in the common order passed by the Court below and<br \/>\ntherefore, the present civil miscellaneous appeals deserve dismissal.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t23.In fine, Civil Miscellaneous Appeal Nos.384 of 2002 and 385 of<br \/>\n2002 deserve dismissal and accordingly are dismissed without costs.  The common<br \/>\norder passed in ESIOP No.12 of 2001 &amp; 20 of 2001 by the Employees State<br \/>\nInsurance Court, Tiruchirapalli is confirmed.\n<\/p>\n<p>gcg<\/p>\n<p>To\n<\/p>\n<p>1.The Employees State Insurance Court,<br \/>\n  Tiruchirapalli.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Madras High Court The Regional Director vs M\/S.Anandha Silks Paradise on 26 August, 2008 BEFORE THE MADURAI BENCH OF MADRAS HIGH COURT DATED: 26\/08\/2008 CORAM THE HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE A.SELVAM Civil Miscellaneous Appeal No.384 of 2002 and Civil Miscellaneous Appeal No.385 of 2002 The Regional Director, Employees State Insurance Corporation, 143, Sterling Road, Chennai- 600 034.
