Sir/Madam
I was working as a Factory Manager, but the factory is closed now and as a result i left the job. During my tenure, a fire occurred in a factory but by the grace of God no one hurts in the Fire but there was loss to the equipment only. The Deputy Director of Factories filed a case in CJM's Court in the year 2010, since then the said case is pending, The company is now in bifer and closed. As per factories Act there is a provision for punishment to the extent of two years and fine ranging from Rs. 50/- to One Lac levied upon Factory Manager, but it will depend on the mood of the judge. My question are as under :-
Q-1. The fire took place in the factory in the year 2010, the Dy. Dir. of factories filed the case at Patiala in the year 2010, the District Changed in the year 2011, to Mohali, is there any provision under law to shift the case to new Distt. since it is near to my house ?
Q-2 The complainant has not appeared in the Court on single occasion, whereas i am regularly appearing for the last three years, is there any provision under law to appraise the judge about the same so that the case can be dismissed on account of "dismissed as default" ?
Q-3 How Can i convince the judge that I am suffering for the last three years, as I am visiting the court on every date on my own and incurring expenses from my own pocket every time and if tomorrow the judge decide the case and imposed fine say Rs. 1 Lac, I will not able to pay the same, how can i convince him to impose fine Rs. 500-1000/- only ?
