The High Court of Punjab and Haryana, with Judge Rakesh Kumar Jain presiding, issued a judgment on two F. A. Os. (Nos. 433 and 442 of 1988) regarding an order from the Employees Insurance Court in Gurgaon. The case involved the Employees State Insurance Corporation and Haryana Biological (P.) Ltd. The respondent, Haryana Biological, challenged a demand from the Corporation for contributions between 4/1983 and 11/1983. Haryana Biological argued that they were not subject to the Employees' State Insurance Act, as they had not employed 10 or more persons on wages in the previous 12 months. The Corporation claimed that 10 persons were working during an inspection, including the directors who received remuneration. The lower court ruled in favor of Haryana Biological, stating that the directors were not covered under the Act. The Corporation appealed, citing a previous apex court decision that managing directors can be considered employees under the Act. Judge Jain agreed with the Corporation, stating that the three directors receiving remuneration from Haryana Biological were employees and therefore the company fell under the Act. The appeals filed by the Corporation were allowed, the lower court's order was set aside, and the petition under the Employees' State Insurance Act was dismissed.
