Summary of CP/100147/2026 - BDK VALVES PRIVATE LIMITED v. KALLANAGOUDA SANGANAGOUDA SHIVANAGOURDA Court Decision: The High Court of Karnataka, Dharwad Bench dismissed the civil petition on June 12, 2026. Key Issue: The petitioner sought transfer of industrial disputes pending before the Labour Court, Hubballi to Industrial Tribunals under the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, arguing that Labour Courts lost jurisdiction after the Code's commencement on November 21, 2025. Court's Reasoning: The court held that the Central Government's clarification orders (dated December 8, 2025 and February 2, 2026) explicitly state existing Labour Courts and statutory authorities continue functioning until corresponding authorities are appointed under the Code. The court found no grounds to transfer cases when tribunals under the Code remain unconstituted, and noted that statutory transfer mechanisms (Section 92 of the Code) rather than general CPC provisions govern such transfers. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
