I attach reference to the Madras High Court decision which is pretty clear on the applicability of the matter. Each case needs to be examined carefully based on the legal principles enumerated

Dear Colleague,
A very good case law was referred to by our colleague. A good reading.
The prime factors in such cases under Workmen Compensation or under ESI are determined based on a detailed analysis of each case, including the "nature of job or work," connection between such incident and work, whether attributed due to work, the general health condition of the employee, the nexus between such incident and work on the day of the incident, medical reports and evidences of the case, facts furnished by both sides, and so on.
This subject cannot be generalized and decided upon; each case will have its own merit or demerit and can only be decided from a medical angle and legal angle by experts/legal forums.

Before someone can provide the correct answer, you need to inform us of the purpose behind the question.
Are you inquiring about the purpose of filing an application to ESIC? Or is it related to computing compensation under the Employee Compensation Act? Or is it for some other reason.
