    Case Summary: Crl.Rev.P./231/2012 Court Decision: The Gauhati High Court rejected the revision petition filed by Kishore Prasad Saraf and Ashok Sood, affirming their conviction under Section 92 of the Factories Act for failing to provide adequate safety measures at a tea estate. The court upheld the conviction and confirmed the fine of Rs. 50,000 each (modified from the original 2-year imprisonment sentence). Key Facts & Reasoning: On October 16, 2005, worker Dukhiram Lohar died after falling into an open Rotervane machine at Jalan Nagar Tea Estate. The court found that the petitioners, as occupiers and managers, failed to fence or cover the machine's opening and installed it without proper approval from the Chief Inspector of Factories. Despite the petitioners' claims that safety measures were taken and the death was merely accidental, evidence showed the machine's mouth remained unguarded, constituting a violation of factory safety regulations. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
