in the matter of state case the concerning magistrate of the police station where the case has been filed by the labour insp. as a complaint is the competent authority.
now your next qurey wiil be about the labour court(not a court but atirbunal which has some magistrate power in m.w.cases where labour can filed said case )
labour court deside the offance against labour complaint and then magistrate concerning police station deside the offance against state.
because the power of imprision is only judicial right.in hte labour matter.
