Transport Employees Strike: State Government receives High Court Notice
Bengaluru: In the background of the losses that were incurred during the K.S.R.T.C and B.M.T.C Transport employees’ strike in the state, which occurred on the 11th and 12th of December in 2020, the High court has sent a notice to the state government in response to the appeal seeking an order to extort compensation from those that organized the strike.
The High Court’s Divisional Tribunal which oversaw the issue of the Public Interest Petition submitted by the Samarpana Swayam Seva Organization, issued a notice to the defendants in question, i.e. State Government’s Chief Secretary, City Police Commissioner, Managing Directors of the K.S.R.T.C and B.M.T.C, and postponed the hearing to March 30th. Advocate G.R Mohan argued on behalf of the petitioners.
Contents of the Petition: The K.S.R.T.C and B.M.T.C Workers Unions keep putting forth various demands and every so often calls for strikes. To control this, the government has enacted the ESMA Act. Yet, the K.S.R.T.C and B.M.T.C Workers have called for strikes in December. Apart from causing inconvenience to the public, this has also caused K.S.R.T.C and B.M.T.C, a loss of 7.93 Crores. Those responsible for calling the strikes have had various FIR’s registered against them in several police stations.
But the police have not conducted any inquiry based on those complaints. Therefore, the organizations and workers who are responsible for the strikes must be extorted to cover the loss of 7.93 crores. The City Police Commissioner and the State Government must be directed to take lawful actions against the strike-related FIRs that have been registered so far, the petitioners have requested.
