The State through S. R. Thakare Deputy Director Industrial Safety and Health , Raigad vs Vijayalakshmi P Vaish Advocate - Mahadik Nilesh S. — 1205/2024

The court convicted Mrs. Vijayalashmi P. Vaish, occupier of M/s. Vijayprit Industries, under the Factories Act, 1948 for failing to maintain safe plant and systems and prevent accumulation of flammable gases in the factory. Since the accused pleaded guilty and no injuries or deaths occurred, the court imposed a lenient sentence of Rs. 5,000 fine for each of two offences (with 5 days simple imprisonment in default), rather than the maximum penalty sought by the state.
