T.N. bus strike | Madras HC succeeds in persuading trade unions to suspend the strike till January 19 in public interest

Madras High Court Pongal

The Madras High Court on Wednesday succeeded in persuading the State transport corporation trade unions to suspend the bus strike till January 19, in the interest of the people dependent on public transport for travel during the Pongal season.

Chief Justice Sanjay V. Gangapurwala and Justice D. Bharatha Chakravarthy recorded the submissions made by Senior Counsel Vijay Narayan, representing Anna Thozhirsanga Peravai, and advocate Balan Haridas, representing the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), that their members shall return to work in the public interest.

When Mr. Haridas apprehended that the transport corporations might end up taking departmental action against those who had resorted to the strike, pressing various demands, Additional Advocate-General (AAG) J. Ravindran said there need not be any such fear, and that the employees would be allowed to resume work immediately.
