Hi,
I am an employer, and my employee died of a heart attack while on his way to work. He was waiting for the doctor near his residence as he felt breathless. While waiting for the doctor, he wanted to go to the washroom, so people helping him took him to his building, but he used a washroom of some society member on the ground floor (employee stays on the 3rd floor). He suffered a massive heart attack after coming out of the washroom and while waiting for the doctor.
My question is, the ESIC officers say that there is a break in duty as he returned midway. But I argued that he had not reached home and was waiting for the doctor. Is there any court judgment or any other material in favor of the employee that I can produce to the ESIC office?
