Chennai:2.11.2019
The Madras high court has wondered why the Tamil Nadu Essential Services Maintenance Act (TESMA) was not invoked against the striking government doctors and asked the state government whether the law was still in force.
“Nature of a person’s work determines whether they can go on strike or not. What would happen if the army, police or the conservancy workers go on such strike?” asked a division bench of Justice M Sathyanarayanan and Justice N Seshasayee on Friday. The bench made the observations while hearing a batch of pleas against government doctors resorting to strike.
Advocate general Vijay Narayan submitted that the TESMA was brought in only as an ordinance a few years ago and said he would verify its present status and inform the court. He further said the protesting doctors had informed the state government that they were withdrawing their strike and resuming work.
