The court ruled that top executives, including Premji, cannot be held criminally liable for technical violations without direct involvement. "},{"text":"The case originated from a complaint filed by the labour department, but the high court found that the magistrate had not properly examined the factual aspects before issuing the summons. Justice Jafeer Ahmad passed the order, setting aside the summons and providing relief to Azim Premji and other senior company officials.
