Factories Act, 1948
102. Power of Court to make orders
(1) Where the occupier or manager of a factory is convicted of
an offence punishable under this Act the Court may, in addition to awarding any
punishment, by order in writing require him, within a period specified in the
order (which the Court may, if it thinks fit and on application in such behalf,
from time to time extend) to take such measures as may be so specified for
remedying the matters in respect of which the offence was committed.
(2) Where an order is made under sub-section (1), the occupier
or manager of the factory, as the case may be, shall not be liable under this
Act in respect of the continuation of the offence during the period or extended
period, if any, allowed by the Court, but if, on the expiry of such period or
extended period, as the case may be, the order of the Court has not been fully
complied with, the occupier or manager, as the case may be, shall be deemed to
have committed a further offence, and may be sentenced therefor
by the Court to undergo imprisonment for a term which may extend to six months
or to pay a fine which may extend to one hundred rupees for every day after
such expiry on which the order has not been complied with, or both to undergo
such imprisonment and to pay such fine, as aforesaid.
