15. Admittedly, looking into the relief clause i.e. seeking a command to the NCVT, Government of India, New Delhi to issue National Trade Certificate to the petitioner in the trade of Electrician, arises from the cause of action when as prayed by the petitioner, the petitioner passed trade test on completion of his training at ITI, Belganganagar, Tahsil Chalisgaon, District Jalgaon, Maharashtra. The office of the NCVT is located in New Delhi. Thus, all the materials taken together make a cause of action as defined in a catena of decisions by the Supreme Court, as aforestated. The petitioner made an application for appointment on the post of Assistant Loco Pilot in Delhi Metro and the candidature of the petitioner could not be considered for want of National Trade Certificate, is not a part of the cause of action involved in the instant case. It is a second cause of action, and the same is not under challenge in this petition. Requirement of National Trade Certificate by the Delhi Metro for consideration for appointment on the post of Assistant Loco Pilot is not questioned in this petition. Thus, the facts, forming cause of action in this petition, are very clear that the petitioner was admitted to ITI, Belganganagar, Tahsil Chalisgaon, Maharashtra, which has not been arrayed as a respondent in this petition. Secondly, thereafter, the NCVT i.e. the respondent No. 3 which conducted the trade test, has not issued the National Trade Certificate for which the instant petition has been filed. It is not a case that even a part of cause of action has arisen within the territorial jurisdiction of the High Court of Chhattisgarh. Thus, under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, this Court may not exercise jurisdiction in relation to cause of action which wholly or in part, arose outside the territorial jurisdiction of this Court.
