Please find attached an order dated 06.07.2018 by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Petition for Special Leave to Appeal (C) No.13351/2018 arising out of the impugned final judgment and order dated 14.03.2017 in WP No. 846/2016 by the Hon'ble High Court Mumbai, Bench Goa, for your information, discussion, and action.

Dear Mr. Korgaonkar,

If I'm not wrong, the Act will remain applicable to administrative staff in the Builder's office situated within the implemented area of ESI and having a workforce of 10 or more employees.

Thank you.

Dear Manoj Kamble ji,

If you read the ESI circular construction 4/99, you will get the answer to your question. According to this circular, employees other than construction workers who are engaged at the site on a purely temporary basis are to be covered under ESIS.
