    The High Court of Punjab and Haryana quashed a criminal complaint against Paritosh Kumar Garg for alleged Factories Act violations following a fatal industrial accident on 21.11.2018, holding the complaint was barred by the three-month limitation period under Section 106 of the Factories Act. The court determined that the Inspector acquired knowledge of the offense by 22.11.2018 or at latest 03.12.2018, but the complaint was filed only on 05.04.2019, making it time-barred despite the State's arguments that limitation commenced only after inquiry completion and departmental approval.
