In India, the right to strike is not a Fundamental Right under the Constitution, but it is a Legal/Statutory Right.
Constitutional Standing: While Article 19(1)(c) guarantees the fundamental right to form associations or unions, the Supreme Court held in T.K. Rangarajan v. Government of Tamil Nadu that this does not include a fundamental right to strike.
Statutory Right: The right to strike is recognized and regulated under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.
Regulation: A strike is legal only if it complies with the procedures laid down in Sections 22, 23, and 24 (e.g., providing notice in public utility services and avoiding strikes during pendency of conciliation or arbitration proceedings).
