    Summary of CP/100177/2026 - BDK Valves Pvt Ltd v. Bhimappa Hanumantappa Harijan Court Decision: The High Court of Karnataka, Dharwad Bench dismissed the petition on June 12, 2026. Key Issue: BDK Valves sought to transfer 160+ industrial dispute cases pending before the Labour Court, Hubballi to newly constituted Industrial Tribunals under the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, arguing the Labour Court lost jurisdiction after the Code repealed the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Court's Reasoning: The court rejected the transfer request, holding that Central Government notifications (issued December 8, 2025 and February 2, 2026) clarified that existing Labour Courts must continue functioning until corresponding tribunals are appointed under the new Code to ensure continuity and avoid legal/administrative vacuum. The court found Section 24 CPC cannot be invoked for such transfers, as tribunals don't yet exist and statutory procedures govern these transfers, not general civil procedure rules. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
