The case before the<\/p>\n<p>court was challenging the correctness of clubbing of two units and<\/p>\n<p>the court below after consideration allowed the petitions and held<\/p>\n<p>that two units cannot be clubbed together. It is against this the<\/p>\n<p>Employees State Insurance Corporation has come up in appeal.<\/p>\n<p>     2. The learned counsel for the appellant vehemently and<\/p>\n<p>persuasively had argued before me that the court below had<\/p>\n<p>missed the principle to be followed and therefore wanted the<\/p>\n<p>indulgence of this court to rectify the mistake committed by the<\/p>\n<p>court below. The learned counsel had very strongly contended<\/p>\n<p>before me that there are 25 employees working under the same<\/p>\n<p>roof and they are the part and parcel of one unit and therefore<\/p>\n<p>the Insurance Court should not have allowed the case. On the<\/p>\n<p>other hand the learned counsel for the respondent would contend<\/p>\n<p>that  two units are independent and separate units having<\/p>\n<p>separate existence and therefore it cannot be clubbed together.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">INAP. No.49\/09                    2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      3. The principles to be followed are succinctly laid down in<\/p>\n<p>very many decisions and I may refer to one of the decisions<\/p>\n<p>where the facts are almost similar. In Evans Food Corporation<\/p>\n<p>Vs. Union of India and another reported in 1994 (2)<\/p>\n<p>Labour Law Journal 646 the learned judge exhaustively<\/p>\n<p>considered the materials. The first principle is whether there are<\/p>\n<p>two establishments, branches or units, the true relationship<\/p>\n<p>between them must be such that they constitute one integrated<\/p>\n<p>whole. The question of unity of the two        establishments must<\/p>\n<p>therefore be decided on the touchstone of its total functional<\/p>\n<p>unity. The broad tests are unity of ownership, management and<\/p>\n<p>control, functional integrity, general unit and unit of employment.<\/p>\n<p>      4. Now to the facts of this case, NM Stores is a partnership<\/p>\n<p>concern and NM Textiles is yet another partnership concern. In<\/p>\n<p>NM Stores partners are brothers and in NM Textiles, partners are<\/p>\n<p>wives of brothers.      NM Stores is dealing with ready made<\/p>\n<p>garments where as NM Textiles dealing with textile. So it has to<\/p>\n<p>be stated that both of them are dealing with clothes. NM Stores<\/p>\n<p>is having a separate account, separate wage register, separate<\/p>\n<p>muster roll, separate financial control and separate management.<\/p>\n<p>The unity of facts are that both the partnership concerns are<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">INAP. No.49\/09                   3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>situated in one and the same building and there is a common stair<\/p>\n<p>case. PW1 had deposed before this court that except these there<\/p>\n<p>is absolutely no business connection between the two.<\/p>\n<p>      5. The learned counsel for the Corp[oration would contend<\/p>\n<p>before me that when the officer inspected the business premises<\/p>\n<p>he was able to see 25 persons doing the work.         Learned trial<\/p>\n<p>judge held that Insurance     inspection team proceeded on the<\/p>\n<p>assumption that two shops constitute a single establishment. He<\/p>\n<p>did not ascertain the status of both the shops. The learned trial<\/p>\n<p>judge also held that except the fact that both the        units are<\/p>\n<p>located in same building, and are engaged in textile items, no<\/p>\n<p>other common factors could be collected by the inspection team.<\/p>\n<p>The inspection team did not elicit any information. It has not<\/p>\n<p>verified the employment records and whether there was any<\/p>\n<p>supervision and control over the employees.        It has also not<\/p>\n<p>collected    any  information   whether     there   was    financial<\/p>\n<p>interdependence between two units. So the materials collected<\/p>\n<p>which is in favour of ESI Corporation is only some basic facts like<\/p>\n<p>building and family relation. But the real aspect is with respect to<\/p>\n<p>business. Absolutely no materials are collected to show that the<\/p>\n<p>business is in any way interconnected.       The learned counsel<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">INAP. No.49\/09                   4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>submitted before me further opportunity may be given to<\/p>\n<p>substantiate it. It was the fundamental duty of the Corporation<\/p>\n<p>employees and later at the time of trial to produce the evidence<\/p>\n<p>to establish the fact.    Apex court has cautioned that remand<\/p>\n<p>should be avoided to fill up the lacuna in the case which will<\/p>\n<p>detrimentally affect the right of the other party. So I am not<\/p>\n<p>inclined to grant the request of remand as well.       From these<\/p>\n<p>discussions I find that there are no materials in the appeal which<\/p>\n<p>warrants consideration. Therefore it lacks merit and dismissed<\/p>\n<p>but without costs.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                      M.N.
