Industrial Strikes

Zia (Querist) 10 January 2009 This query is : Resolved
I request the lawyers on the panel of this portal to suggest me and send me some Judgements of Hon'ble Supreme Court of India, or High Courts, related to prohibition of Strikes in Industries, particularly of Industries involved in essential services like Generation of electricity, oil etc.
The query is significant and desires urgent response in view of the recent strike calls given by the Oil PSUs Officers association.

first of all the strike is not a legal right. there is no specific enactment for the prohibition of strikes, which will be against the freedom of expression of protest.
but the strikes with violence, loss of lives and property loss are illegal. to encounter these illegal strikes, you can invoke other legal provisions.
