K.D. Srivastava's Commentaries on Employees' State Insurance Act, 1948

The new edition of this very popular work has been long overdue. There has been tremendous growth in the case-law during this interregnum besides the many amendments to the Rules and the Regulations framed under this Act. A new case-law and statute law supplement has been added to the book bringing it up-to-date till 2003. The liberal interpretation given by the Courts has tremendously expanded the scope of this Act to cover many more employees placed in varied situations. Courts have placed great faith in this welfare legislation and held the employer liable even when the employees had ceased to work or were engaged to do some odd job, and therefore not identifiable to avail any benefit of the contribution. This edition is a must for industrialists, factory owners, labour officers, trade unionists, government, labour practitioners and the judiciary. The book is indispensable for the members of the Bar and the Bench and also to the students and teachers.
