Separate complaint was filed by the Assistant Director of Factories, for the offence under Section 92 of the Factories Act, 1948.

HELD that the offences under Section 92 of the Factories Act and Section 304A of the IPC are of the same kind, punishable with same punishment and hence, as per section 26 of the General Clauses Act, the offender can be prosecuted only under one enactment. Even otherwise the Factories Act does not permit parallel prosecutions under two different Acts against a person for offences under the Factories. Section 92 is the only section which make the contravention as criminal offence and prescribes punishment and fine.
