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 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.
