What does your company policy state? Also why do you want to insist a strict action, as he went on leave, in-spite of the denial by the manager?

1. Sir, how will you prove that a particular medical certificate issued by an Insurance Medical Officer of ESI dispensary is false? If the worker/insured person is entitled to medical leave under the ESI Act, 1948, and rules/regulations framed thereunder, and the authorized ESI Dispensary/Hospital has issued a valid certificate, no action, in my opinion, can be taken against such an insured person.
2. The best course, in my opinion, will be to inform the said ESI dispensary in writing that the said employee is habitual (if the worker is actually habitual) in obtaining the ESI medical certification at the cost of work, etc., and in the future, ESI medical certificates may be issued with care/strictly as and when genuinely required. The ESIC Branch Manager can also be informed on the same lines.
3. Taking any action against the insured person who is on authorized ESI medical leave is an offense punishable under section 85(d) read with section 73 of the said Act. Neither any policy of the company nor standing orders of any kind are relevant if the certification of the ESI dispensary/hospital is genuine and proper.

Dear all,
If a medical certificate is issued by a competent authority, it is next to impossible to prove that the insured has obtained it on false grounds. However, if a certificate seems to be obtained on false grounds, a complaint can be lodged with the State Medical Commissioner who can investigate it, but you cannot take disciplinary action on this ground.
