Sir,
1. Since the said employee, as reported was not working in insured/insurable employment, he is not entitled for temporary disablement benefits or any permanent disablement benefits on account of said accident. In order to be entitled for benefits as a result of accident, the person must be "employee" on the date of accident. I am not sure as to under which provisions of ESI Act, 1948 and rules/regulations framed thereunder Mr./Mrs.Pramanik has remarked as above that the said employee is entitled for all benefits under said Act. I will request Mr./Mrs. Parmanik to indicate the provisions of said Act so that I may be able to form my views accordingly.
2. In my opinion, the said employee can avail only medical facilities and that too only upto some duration.
3. For compensation and leaves etc., if any, the said employee will be entitled under Employees' Compensation Act, 1923 if otherwise eligible under said Act.
