Case Note & Summary

The case involved a civil appeal by the Employees State Insurance Corporation against M/s. K.P.L. Oil Mills (P) Ltd. The Supreme Court addressed the issue of a previous Full Bench decision by the Calcutta High Court, which had been reversed in a later ruling by the Supreme Court itself. The Court noted that the High Court's judgment was based solely on the now-reversed precedent and did not consider other pertinent issues raised in the writ petition. Consequently, the Supreme Court decided to remit the matter back to the High Court for further examination of these issues. The parties were directed to appear before the High Court on July 12, 2010, to facilitate this process. The appeals were thus disposed of, allowing for a more thorough consideration of the case by the High Court.
