    Summary The Bombay High Court quashed the Industrial Court's order allowing Alfa Laval India Private Limited to amend its written statement to introduce allegations of serious misconduct against petitioner Baljinder Kaur Nangal Chopra, whose services were terminated by a non-reasoned order in June 2020. The court held that the amendment impermissibly transformed a simple termination into a misconduct-based termination after a four-year delay, violating settled legal principles that a Labour Court cannot go beyond the termination order's foundation and lacks jurisdiction to allow introduction of new cases without prior inquiry or charge sheet.
