Bare Act
The Haryana Cotton Ginning and Pressing Factories Act, 1992
This law regulates cotton ginning and pressing factories in Haryana by mandating that owners obtain proper licenses before operating and maintain detailed daily records of all cotton processed in appropriate registers. It defines specific terms including bales, cotton ginning and pressing factories, and prohibits working these facilities without valid authorization. The Act applies to all premises where cotton is ginned or pressed into bales, establishing oversight measures through licensing authorities who may suspend or withdraw licenses for non-compliance. By requiring documented tracking of cotton production and quantity, the legislation helps ensure industry transparency, proper weight certification, and prevents adulteration or mixing of cotton varieties in violation of regulations.
