THE TRADE UNIONS ACT, 1926

19. Enforceability of agreements.—Notwithstanding anything contained in any other law for 

the time being in force, an agreement between the members of a registered Trade Union shall not 

be void or voidable merely by reason of the fact that any of the objects of the agreement are in 

restraint of trade: 

Provided that nothing in this section shall enable any Civil Court to entertain any legal 

proceeding instituted for the express purpose of enforcing or recovering damages for the breach 

of any agreement concerning the conditions on which any members of a Trade Union shall or 

shall not sell their goods, transact business, work, employ or be employed.
