Supreme Court Levies Penalty On Growth Shop Of Tata Steel For Violation
Of Factories Act Thread Started by #Pca❞ The Supreme Court has imposed
a fine on Growth Shop of Tata Steel Ltd in Jharkhand for violating various
provisions of the Factories Act and rules. The allegations were that the
management took overtime service from contract labourers without
providing them overtime slips, they were not given leave book, and in the
canteen there was no partition for women workers, doors and windows
were not fly- proof, there was no rate card nor hot water to clean dishes.
Cases were filed against the manager and others concerned. They moved
the high court which refused to quash the criminal proceedings. They
appealed to the Supreme Court. It gave a chance to rectify the defects as
they were “apparently trivial”. The accused persons returned stating that
the defects have been cured. Then the question arose whether that was
enough and whether they should be punished under Section 92 of the Act.
They argued that they had no criminal intent and therefore should be
exonerated. The state government contended that the violations should not
be considered “ trivial”. The Supreme Court ruled that though there was no
criminal intent, still labour law was violated. It imposed ₹ 50,000 as
punishment. Supreme Court order dated 4.5.2016 in this regard is attached.
