Explanation
The Trade Disputes Act of 1929 was enacted by the British Indian government to provide a mechanism for the investigation and settlement of industrial disputes. It introduced provisions for the establishment of Courts of Inquiry and Conciliation Boards (which function as tribunals) to mediate and resolve disputes. A significant aspect of the Act was that it made certain types of strikes and lock-outs illegal, particularly in public utility services, and generally prohibited sympathetic and general strikes, thereby effectively imposing a ban on specific forms of industrial action.
