Ramesh, a trader in Indore, learns that workers of Omkar Foods Ltd are on an illegal strike. Knowing this, he gives the union Rs 2,00,000 expressly to keep the strike going. Under the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, what is the position?

His act is prohibited. The Industrial Relations Code, 2020 provides that no person shall knowingly spend or apply money in direct furtherance or support of an illegal strike or lock-out, so it applies to outsiders like Ramesh whatever the payment mode.

  2. BPermitted if the amount is given by cheque
