Questions about Section 115

How do I find court cases under Section 115 of the Factories Act?

In judgments and charge sheets this section is written several ways, and each form finds a different set of orders. These search the full text of every order eCourtsIndia holds, best matches first: Factories Act 1948 Jharkhand 115, section 115 Factories Act 1948 Jharkhand, section 115 of the Factories Act. Each opens the full list of orders on eCourtsIndia, where it can be narrowed by court, year and outcome.
