Section 10(1) Industrial Relations Code 2020 | Civil Courts Barred from Adjudicating Trade Union Disputes Post-Enactment : Madras HC

The Madras High Court held that civil courts lack jurisdiction over trade union disputes under the Industrial Relations Code 2020, effective from 21.11.2025, even if new tribunals are not yet constituted. Pending suits must be transferred to existing Industrial Tribunals, and interim injunctions granted by civil courts are void, impacting all ongoing and future trade union litigation.
