law: Industrial Disputes Act, 1947
  35. Protection of persons
  (1) No person refusing to take part or to continue to
  
  take part in any strike or lock-out which is illegal under this Act shall, by
  
  reason of such refusal or by reason of any action taken by him under this
  
  section, be subject to expulsion from any trade union or society, or to any
  
  fine or penalty, or to deprivation of any right or benefit to which he or his
  
  legal representatives would otherwise be entitled, or be liable to be placed in
  
  any respect, either directly or indirectly, under any disability or at any
  
  disadvantage as compared with other members of the union or society, anything
  
  to the contrary in rules of a trade union or society notwithstanding.
  (2) Nothing in the rules of a trade union or society requiring
  
  the settlement of dispute in any manner shall apply to any proceeding for
  
  enforcing any right or exemption secured by this section, and in any such
  
  proceeding the Civil Court may, in lieu of ordering a person who has been
  
  expelled from membership of a trade union or society to be restored to
  
  membership, order that he be paid out of the funds of the trade union or
  
  society such sum by way of compensation or damages as that Court thinks just.
