A special bench, before which the writ petition from S Ambigaidass of Tiruvotriyur and K Shivakumar of Barath Nagar came up for hearing on Wednesday, ordered notice to the authorities concerned, returnable by May 27. From the contribution paid by the insured members in the ESIC, who were covered under the `ABVKY scheme, they should be given financial relief without filing the affidavits.
