The brief facts of the case are as follows: The petitioner is the company incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and it carries business of manufacturing and supplying Ready Mix Concrete, Aggregate Cement and Allied Materials. The contract workers are being engaged to carryout the transport of Ready Mix Concrete. On 25.08.2021, the contractual labourers joined together and held an illegal strike and caused disturbance.
