14.  Following   was   held   by   the   Hon'ble   High   Court   of Rajasthan   in  M/s.   Eicher   Goodearth   Ltd.   Vs.   The   Presiding Officer, Labour Court & Another 1999 LLR 156:­ "9. The question, therefore, which falls for consideration in the   case   at   hand   is   not   merely   of   a   worker   against   whom misconduct has been alleged on account of his own lapse but the   misconduct   alleged   to   have   been   proved   is   whether   he acted as a kingpin in order to enforce a strike by exerting his will   on others  who were   not  willing  to participate. It  is  no LIR No. 2894/17 Page 21 of 25 doubt true that the right to go on strike of a workman has been treated   as   an   acknowledged   method   of   demonstrating   his protest but the fact remains that the element of willingness on the part of other workers to join the strike is predominant and one workman cannot be said to be having a superior right of pressurising and forcing other workmen to abstain from work as   it   is   an   individual   right   of   each   and   every   workman   to decide for himself whether he wishes to join the strike or not. It is quite obvious that it is in this context that the Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court considered over the matter and distinguished the cases of those workmen who were described as 'dumb riven cattle' from those who were the kingpin of the strike.

Syndicate Bank & Anr vs K. Umesh Nayak & Ors on 13 September, 1994

In,  Syndicate Bank and Ors Vs. K. Umesh Nayak & Ors. (1994) II LLJ, following was held by the Apex Court:­ "9.  The strike as a weapon was evolved by the workers as a form of direct action during their long struggle with the LIR No. 2894/17 Page 17 of 25 employers.  It is essentially a weapon of last resort being an abnormal aspect of the employer­employee relationship and involves   withdrawal   of   labour   disrupting   production, services and the running of the enterprise. It is a use by the labour of their economic power to bring the employer to see and meet their view­point over the dispute between them. In addition to the total cessation of work, it takes various forms such as working to rule, go slow, refusal to work over­time when   it   is   compulsory   and   a   part   of   the   contract   of employment,   "irritation   strike"   or   staying   at   work   but deliberately doing everything wrong, "running sore strike", i.e. disobeying the lawful orders, sit­down, stay­in and lie­ down   strike   etc.   etc.   The   cessation   or   stoppage   of   work whether by the employees or by the employer is detrimental to the production and economy and to the well being of the society as a whole. It is for this reason that the industrial legislation while not denying the right of workmen to strike, has tried to regulate it along with the right of the employer to lock­out and has also provided a machinery for peaceful investigation, settlement, arbitration and adjudication of the disputes between them. Where such industrial legislation is not applicable, the contract of employment and the service rules   and   regulations   many   times   provide   for   a   suitable machinery for resolution of the disputes.  When the law or the contract of employment or the service rules provide for a machinery to resolve the dispute, resort to strike or lockout as   a   direct   action   is   prima   facie   unjustified.   This   is particularly   so   when   the   provisions   of   the   law   or   of   the contract or of the service rules in that behalf are breached. For then, the action is also illegal.
