Section 106 BNS | Designation Alone Insufficient for Corporate Liability; Prima Facie Case Established by Systemic Safety Failures : Chhattisgarh HC
The Chhattisgarh High Court ruled that merely naming a director under Section 106 BNS without specific allegations of involvement is inadequate, but when systemic safety failures are documented - such as unguarded high-voltage wiring and unchecked work practices - a prima facie case of negligence arises. This sets a critical precedent for holding corporate leadership accountable not by title, but by demonstrable oversight failures in workplace safety.
