Subsequently,   on   account   of   the   action   taken   by   the<\/p>\n<p>Excise   and   Revenue   Departments,   the   area   under   operation   of   the<\/p>\n<p>toddy   shop   was   divided   into   three   and   three   separate   shops   were<\/p>\n<p>established.     Consequent   to   the   separation,   the   number   of   the<\/p>\n<p>employees in the establishment of the respondent were reduced than<\/p>\n<p>the statutory minimum. Still, the Corporation took up a stand that the<\/p>\n<p>establishment continues to be one covered under the Act on account of<\/p>\n<p>Section   1(6)   of   the   Act.   In  E.S.I.   Corporation  v.  Muraleedharan<\/p>\n<p>[2003   (2)   KLT   SN   70   (Case   No.92)],   the   question   was   answered<\/p>\n<p>against   the   Corporation.   It   was   held   that   if   the   status   of   the<\/p>\n<p>establishment   is   altered   through   statutory   intervention,   Section   1(6)<\/p>\n<p>can have no application. The facts of the case in hand are identical to<\/p>\n<p>Muraleedharan&#8217;s case (supra). So, the appeal has to fail.<\/p>\n<p>              In the result, the appeal is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                       K.Padmanabhan Nair<\/p>\n<p>                                                                Judge<\/p>\n<p>vku\/-\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court The Regional Director vs Sri.Thyagarajan on 21 March, 2007 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM MFA No. 801 of 2002(B) 1.
