RIGHT TO STRIKE AND THE ROLE OF JUDICIARY IN INDIA

Strike means collective concentrated stoppage of work by the workers in order to pressurize the employer with a view to improve their wages or to protest against grievance about something or in support of other workers. The Supreme Court in several case laws observed that where strike has been declared illegal in public utility service and an amicable settlement has been concluded in the Conciliation proceedings The judgment of the Supreme Court is final until overruled. It is hoped that the Supreme Court will come up with a solution for upholding the democratic right of right to strike.
