year 2017. The petitioner is with a grievance that as per the rules and regulations of the ESI Corporation, they have to provide seats under the Insured Persons Quota after allocating the seats under All India Quota and State Government quota. In the event, if the respondents have provided such a quota to any members, they could very well inform the same to the petitioner in reply to his representation.
However, the respondents have not passed any orders on the representation of the petitioner, but simply stated that they are governed by the Central Government rules and regulations without pointing out the exact rules. In the event, if there is any quota available as claimed by the petitioner under Insured Persons Quota (IPS), the respondents shall inform the same to the petitioner and also inform the number of seats which have been allotted under the said scheme, if any.
