As per case facts, workmen of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation challenged their dismissal/removal in Civil Suits. The City Civil Court initially dismissed these suits for lack of jurisdiction. A Single Judge ... of the High Court later ruled that the Civil Court had jurisdiction to determine if the termination orders were null and void due to a lack of authority's competence, but not to examine procedural irregularities. This led to Letters Patent Appeals, where the Division Bench concluded that the Civil Court lacked jurisdiction even on the question of competence. The present appeals were then brought before the Supreme Court. The question arose whether the relief sought by the plaintiffs fell within an industrial dispute, and if so, whether the Civil Court's jurisdiction was barred. Finally, the Supreme Court, considering the policy of industrial law providing speedy and inexpensive forums for workmen, and relying on principles from 'The Premier Automobiles Ltd.' and 'Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation', held that the Civil Court's jurisdiction was impliedly barred in such cases, directing workmen to approach appropriate industrial forums. The Court emphasized that industrial disputes, even those based partly on Certified Standing Orders or general contract law, if falling under the Industrial Disputes Act's definition, must be adjudicated by its specialized forums.
