The provisions in relation to illegal strikes and lock-outs are primarily given under Section 24 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.
Section 24 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 defines what constitutes an illegal strike and an illegal lock-out. It refers back to Sections 22 and 23, stating that a strike or lock-out is illegal if it is commenced or continued in contravention of the provisions of Section 22 or Section 23, or if it is commenced or continued in contravention of an order prohibiting the strike or lock-out under Section 10(3) or Section 10A(4).
Section 22 deals with the prohibition of strikes and lock-outs in public utility services, requiring specific notice periods. Section 23 imposes a general prohibition on strikes and lock-outs in all industrial establishments during the pendency of conciliation, arbitration, or tribunal proceedings, or during a settlement/award in force. Section 29 deals with penalties for breaches of settlements or awards, not the definition or provisions related to illegal strikes/lock-outs themselves.
