Judgment text excerpt
The case concerns the legality of the Tamil Nadu Government terminating the services of employees who participated in a strike to press their demands. The Supreme Court examined whether government employees have a fundamental or legal right to go on strike. The Court ruled that government employees have no fundamental, statutory, or contractual right to strike and that such actions are illegal and disruptive to public service.
