"When the facts and circumstances of the present case are examined in the light of judgment Tilak Raj and others' case (supra) as well as provisions of Section 51E of the ESI Act, I find it difficult to accept contention of the insurance company that injury sustained by the victim was an employment injury, therefore, the provisions of the ESI Act can be invoked to create bar under Section 53 of the ESI Act. That being so, the question with regard to maintainability of claim against a third party for tortious liability but in regard to employment injury would be examined in detail, in an appropriate case. In this view of the matter, the principal contention raise by the insurance company is not tenable and accordingly rejected. xxxxxxxxxx If the claimants have received any benefit under the ESI Act on a

  A wrongful assumption and they are otherwise not entitle to said benefit, the claimants may refund the amount to the ESI Corporation or the Corporation may initiate proceedings for recovery, if so permitted in law.F +6 0+$%6  3$ !      #  +   /     # $  !
