Hopes employees resume work without prejudice to their demands; says it violates fundamental rights of other citizens
Observing that it is not the right time for anybody to go on strike, the High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday said that the strike by employees of four public transport corporations amidst the COVID-19 pandemic violates the fundamental rights of other citizens. A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Abhay Shreeniwas Oka and Justice Suraj Govindaraj, while hearing a batch of PIL petitions pointing to sufferings of the public due to the strike, said that it is perhaps the “worst time” to take recourse to strike even if the demands are assumed to be legitimate.More Related News
