Court's Decision & Legal Precedent
DATE VERIFIED Judgement 2011-11-24 (order-1.pdf; body “24th day of November, 2011” / labelled JUDGMENT matches index Final Order): Ext.P13 Inspector order under 1923 s.6 prohibited working of the boiler. Court kept further action on that prohibition in abeyance pending statutory appeal — confirming s.6 prohibition power is real but must operate subject to the Act’s appeal machinery (now 2025 s.11 prohibition + s.24 appeal).
On this section: 2025 s.24 successor appeal: statutory boiler appeals must be heard expeditiously with notice; courts will protect the appellant from coercive enforcement of the underlying prohibition while the appeal is pending.
The holding above is the ratio decidendi as extracted from the judgment by eCourts India, reproduced unaltered — it is a rendering of the court's reasoning, not a substitute for its words. Read the order itself before relying on it.
