Discussion
In which of the following cases a two Judges Bench of the Supreme Court has observed that in order to enable the workmen to wages for the period of the strike, the strike should be legal as well as justified ?
Answer: B
The case is Crompton Greaves Ltd. v Workmen.
In Crompton Greaves Ltd. v Workmen (1978) the Supreme Court held that workmen are entitled to wages for the period of a strike only if the strike is both legal and justified. A strike that is legal but unjustified, or illegal, does not earn wages for the days lost.
The other cases are on different subjects. L. Chandra Kumar v Union of India (1997) held judicial review by the High Courts to be part of the basic structure in the context of tribunals. T.K. Rangarajan v Government of Tamil Nadu (2003) held that government employees have no fundamental right to strike. Coir Board, Ernakulam v Indira Devi P.S. concerned the definition of 'industry'.
