    Case Summary: CP /100230/2026 Court: High Court of Karnataka, Dharwad Bench Date: 12th June 2026 Judge: Hon'ble Mr. Justice B. Muralidhara Pai Parties: BDK Valves Private Limited (Petitioner) vs. Manjunath D Dangari and 162 others (Respondents) Decision: DISMISSED Key Facts: - BDK Valves Private Limited terminated services of 163 workmen on 27.11.2024 for alleged grave misconduct arising from participation in an illegal strike - A Trade Union raised industrial disputes before the Labour Court, Hubballi under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 - Respondents also filed individual industrial disputes seeking redressal for dismissal Main Issue: Whether the pending industrial disputes should be transferred from the Labour Court, Hubballi to newly constituted Industrial Tribunals under the Industrial Relations Code, 2020 (which came into force on 21.11.2025). Court's Reasoning: 1. The Industrial Relations Code, 2020 repealed the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 effective 21.11.2025 2. Section 51 of the Code provides for automatic transfer of pending cases to corresponding Tribunals 3. However, the Central Government issued "Removal of Difficulties Orders" (8.12.2025 and 2.02.2026) clarifying that existing Labour Courts and statutory authorities shall continue functioning until corresponding authorities are appointed under the Code 4. The Tribunals under the Code have not yet been constituted 5. Section 24 of CPC cannot be used to transfer proceedings to non-existent forums 6. The Labour Court's continuation is authorized to ensure continuity of functions and avoid administrative vacuum Order: All petitions dismissed. The industrial disputes shall continue before the Labour Court, Hubballi until Industrial Tribunals are constituted under the Code.
