    Summary of WP/8026/2025 The High Court allowed MMP Industries' petitions challenging the Industrial Court's jurisdiction to restrain the company from superannuating two employees at age 58. The Court held that such disputes constitute "intended discharge" falling under Item 1(b) of Schedule IV of the 1971 Act (colourable exercise of employer power), making the Labour Court—not Industrial Court—the proper forum. The cases were transferred to Labour Court while allowing employees six weeks' continued employment to seek interim relief there.
