88 Exemption of persons or class of persons

Exemption of persons or class of persons.

88. The appropriate government may, by notification in the Official Gazette and subject to such conditions as it may deem fit to impose, exempt any persons or class of persons employed in any factory or establishment, or class of factories or establishments to which this Act applies from the operation of the Act.

COMMENTS

Legislature never intended the imposition of double penalty on the factories or establishments. Keeping that in view and avoidance of harassment, sections 87, 88 and 91 have been incorporated under the Act.-- 1992 Lab. IC 2404.

Power to grant exemption to the factories or establishment in a specified area has been conferred upon the State Government alone. Declaration to effectuate that cannot be sought from Insurance Court.-- 1992 Lab. IC 1825.
