In the light of the decision of the Supreme Court in Civil Appeal No.5215/2006, the matter requires fresh consideration. The Honourable Supreme Court has stated that in a given case, the Committee can be the principal employer. In that case, the Committee was not made a party. In such circumstances, the Apex Court remanded the matter back to the E.I. Court for fresh consideration. We are inclined to follow the same judgment for the disposal of these cases also. The Insurance Court shall take a fresh decision, after hearing the Committee and all other affected parties, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The parties can raise all their contentions before the Insurance Court. (K.S. Radhakrishnan, Judge.) (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kvs/
