Section Text
(1) No suit or other legal proceeding shall be
maintainable in any civil court against any registered Trade Union or any office-bearer or member
thereof in respect of any act done in contemplation or furtherance of an industrial dispute to which a
member of the Trade Union is a party on the ground only that such act induces some other person to
break a contract of employment or that it is an interference with the trade, business, or employment of
some other person or with the right of some other person to dispose of his capital or of his labour as he
wills.
(2) A registered Trade Union shall not be liable in any suit or other legal proceeding in any civil
court in respect of any tortuous act done in contemplation or furtherance of an industrial dispute by an
agent of the Trade Union if it is proved that such person acted without the knowledge of, or contrary to
express instructions given by, the executive of the Trade Union.
