Dear mr. Gulamayyuddin,
I completely agree to you. Here, the person who have asked question related to that only that if a peron is alredy covered under ESI Act for the things which is mentioned in Workmen's compensation Act, then can he take dual benefit?
Correct me Mr. Rahul if I am intrepreting your query wrongly.
The straight answer is "NO"
Yes, for the any benefit/ remedy mentioned in Workmen's Compensation Act or vice versa, the person can claim as per the things mentioned in the Act.
For instance, a person contributing in ESI can take benefit of medical and others which is normally not covered under workmen's compensation Act. The workmen's compensation Act is a social labour legislation to protect an employee's interest if that particular employee get injury/ temporary or permanent disablement or death only during employment whereas in ESI even if you are sick or suffering from prolonged disease which has not occured due to industrial or occupational hazard you can treated at ESI hospitals.
I hope I am clear
Regards
Govind
