Kaveri Steels Ltd's workers commenced a strike that was illegal at its commencement. Management, in consequence of that illegal strike, declares a lock-out without giving the usual notice. Under the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, how is the lock-out treated?

The lock-out is not deemed illegal. The Code provides that a lock-out declared in consequence of an illegal strike, or a strike declared in consequence of an illegal lock-out, is not to be treated as illegal, regardless of the notice requirements.

  1. AIllegal, because no lock-out notice was given
  2. BIllegal, because the strike was itself illegal
  3. CIllegal unless the Tribunal approves it afterwards
  4. DNot deemed illegal, since it was declared in consequence of an illegal strikeCorrect

Explanation

The Code states that a lock-out declared in consequence of an illegal strike is not deemed illegal. The missing notice or the strike's illegality does not alter this.
