The East Punjab Factories (Control of Dismantling) Act, 1948

Labour19489 sections

This Act regulates the dismantling of factories in East Punjab by requiring written permission from the Central Government before any machinery can be removed. It applies to all factories defined under the 1934 Factories Act and includes premises that were factories after August 15, 1947. The law empowers government officers to enter premises, examine machinery, and take evidence to enforce these rules. Violations can result in imprisonment for up to two years or fines, and corporate bodies are held liable if their directors or managers fail to prevent the contravention. Legal proceedings require prior government sanction, though actions taken in good faith are protected.
