Supreme Court rules monetary compensation for mobbing is a local court case under Art. 17(4) CPC regardless of value.

The Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether a worker's claim for monetary compensation for mobbing falls under the jurisdiction of the local court. The plaintiff argued that the employer's actions caused severe psychological harm, while the defendant contended the harassment was not systematic. The court held that such claims are independent and local in nature, governed by Article 17(4) of the Code of Civil Procedure, making the local court competent regardless of the dispute's value.
