There is no ESI contribution required on this. First of all the work was not carried by B inside the plant of A and hence in no way the persons employed by B can be covered under ESI in the hands of A .There is no necessity for any case law. ESI Act envisages inclusion of the wages of the workers of a contractor only (1). The term employee (Ref sect2 (9)(ii)of the ESI Act 1948 seeks to include the employees of an immediate employee (contractor's employees) only if the work is carried out on the premises of a factory or establishment.
