Section 27 of IDA : Section 27: Penalty For Instigation, Etc

Explanation using Example

Imagine a factory where workers are unhappy with their working conditions. An employee, John, feeling aggrieved, begins to circulate messages among his co-workers, urging them to halt work the next day in protest, despite knowing that the legal procedures for declaring a strike have not been followed, making any such strike illegal under The Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. John's actions of encouraging his fellow workers to strike could be seen as instigating an illegal strike. If the authorities become aware of this, John could potentially face legal consequences as described in Section 27 of the Act, which may include imprisonment, a fine, or both.
