These are situations which may become very sensitive. The labourer would have come under ESI had he been brought under the rolls properly. It is unfortunate that you or even your contractor failed to bring him under ESI. Now the only remedy is to sort out the matter as per Workmen's Compensation Act. Though he was not directly employed by you, he worked for the trade or business transacted by you only. Therefore, being the principal employer your responsibility is not limited but primary. When the question of compensation arises, there are chances of querries relating to minimum wages and non coverage of employee under ESI coming up. Therefore, it is advisable to have an outside settlement without interference of Labour department.
In fact I didn't come across with such a situation and therefore, my judgement may be wrong. Through out my career I have not diluted at least this point, that is to ensure that all those who fall under definition of ESI to be covered.
