Madam
As per the Factories Act, Manager is defined u/s 2 :
(l) “manager” means the person responsible to the occupier for the working of the factory for the purpose of the Act.
There is no qualification prescribed / defined as such under the Factories Act for "Manager". He is appointed by the Occupier.
Normally, a Manager is an employee of the establishment, and if stated under the company;s certified standing orders, an employee against whom a court case is pending shall not be appointed by the company / establishment as "Manager".
Best wishes,
