Medical records and chest X-rays of the employees were produced before the Commissioner by the First Respondent. The Commissioner noted that the quality of some of the medical investigations was not up to mark and raised doubt about their validity. For instance, the urine reports of medical examination of all workers examined in June 1997 were identical and the blood urea values of 26 out of 32 subjects examined in November 1997 showed the same value of 22.8 mg. The chest X-rays were almost unreadable. Dr.Saiyed observed that abnormal findings of blood pressure, blood sugar, blood urea, SGPT, serum creatinine, Chest X-rays, audiometry and lung function test were observed. Except for blood sugar and blood pressure readings these abnormalities were not communicated to the workers. The Report of Dr.Saiyed observed thus:

It is important to note that chemicals used in the factory and physical conditions have potentiality to cause the observed abnormalities in biochemical parameters, lung function and audiometry and therefore, detection of such abnormalities warrants in depth investigations of individual worker to find out the cause as well as assessment of the work environment.
The parameters for the survey included : (i) Measurement of noise levels; (ii) Measurement of dust levels; (iii) Measurement of heat stress; and (iv) Measurement of chemical levels in the air. The Commissioner found a high incidence of tuberculosis amongst the workers and came to the following findings:
