https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=465610 Section 61(10) of the Factories Act applies only to a genuine change in the factory's system of work requiring alteration of the notice of periods of work; a temporary deviation for individual workers, even if notified to the Inspector, does not fall within that provision and leaves liability under section 63 intact. Section 117 protects only acts done in compliance with, or intended compliance with, the Act, and good faith alone does not excuse a breach. On these principles, the defence under sections 61(10) and 117 failed, the contravention was established, and the conviction was restored. en-us Tue, 07 Apr 1964 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 02 Jan 2026 14:25:58 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=465610 Section 61(10) of the Factories Act applies only to a genuine change in the factory's system of work requiring alteration of the notice of periods of work; a temporary deviation for individual workers, even if notified to the Inspector, does not fall within that provision and leaves liability under section 63 intact.
