Regional Director, E.S.I. Corporation vs L. Ranga Rao And Ors. on 24 June, 1981
Similar was the view held by the Karnataka
High Court in Regional Director, ESIC Vs. L. Ranga Rao 1982 ILLJ 29
where a notional extension of the time and place from the actual place
of employment was applied to treat an injury as employment injury.
The only decision that is still required to be examined is the decision of
Regional Director ESIC and another Vs.Francis De Costs and another
1994 (Suppl) IV SCC 102, where the Supreme Court was dealing with
the case of a person having an accident outside the factory and outside
the office hours and the Hon'ble Supreme Court rejected that there was
a causal connection between the accident and the employment.
