1 - 8 of 8 (0.25 seconds)M/S. Kusum Ingots & Alloys Ltd vs Union Of India And Anr on 28 April, 2004
3. We do not think, this Court has territorial jurisdiction entertain the
present writ petition even if the petitioner has challenged the
constitutional validity of Securitization of Reconstruction of Financial
Assets and Enforcement of Securities Interest Act, 2002 and Rule 2(a) of
the Security Interest (Enforcement) Rules, 2002. As noticed above, the
entire "cause of action" as alleged in the petition arises out of notice dated
8th November, 2010 written by respondent No. 4 Bank from Jaipur to the
petitioner at Jaipur. Notice also states that the property in question is
located at Sanganer, Jaipur. These are undisputed facts. The question of
territorial jurisdiction is clearly covered by the judgment held by Supreme
WPC 711/2011 Page 4 of 7
Court in Kusum Ingots & Alloys Ltd. Vs. Union of India (2004) 6 SCC
254 . The relevant portions of the said judgment read:-
Abdul Kafi Khan vs Union Of India (Uoi) And Ors. on 11 April, 1979
23. A writ petition, however, questioning the
constitutionality of a parliamentary Act shall not be
maintainable in the High Court of Delhi only because
the seat of the Union of India is in Delhi. (See Abdul
Kafi Khan v. Union of India.)
U. P. Rashtriya Chini Milladhikari ... vs The State Of U. P. & Ors on 2 July, 1995
24. Learned counsel for the appellant in support of
his argument would contend that the situs of framing
law or rule would give jurisdiction to the Delhi High
Court and in support of the said contention relied upon
the decisions of this Court in Nasiruddin v. STAT and
U.P. Rashtriya Chini Mill Adhikari Parishad v. State of
U.P. So far as the decision of this Court in Nasiruddin
v. STAT is concerned, it is not an authority for the
proposition that the situs of legislature of a State or the
authority in power to make subordinate legislation or
issue a notification would confer power or jurisdiction
on the High Court or a Bench of the High Court to
entertain a petition under Article 226 of the
Constitution. In fact this Court while construing the
provisions of the United Provinces High Courts
(Amalgamation) Order, 1948 stated the law thus: (SCC
p. 683, para 37)
"37. The conclusion as well as the reasoning of the
High Court is incorrect. It is unsound because the
expression „cause of action‟ in an application under
WPC 711/2011 Page 6 of 7
Article 226 would be as the expression is understood
and if the cause of action arose because of the appellate
order or the revisional order which came to be passed at
Lucknow then Lucknow would have jurisdiction though
the original order was passed at a place outside the areas
in Oudh. It may be that the original order was in favour
of the person applying for a writ. In such case an
adverse appellate order might be the cause of action.
The expression „cause of action‟ is well known. If the
cause of action arises wholly or in part at a place within
the specified Oudh areas, the Lucknow Bench will have
jurisdiction. If the cause of action arises wholly within
the specified Oudh areas, it is indisputable that the
Lucknow Bench would have exclusive jurisdiction in
such a matter. If the cause of action arises in part within
the specified areas in Oudh it would be open to the
litigant who is the dominus litis to have his forum
conveniens. The litigant has the right to go to a court
where part of his cause of action arises. In such cases, it
is incorrect to say that the litigant chooses any particular
court. The choice is by reason of the jurisdiction of the
court being attracted by part of cause of action arising
within the jurisdiction of the court. Similarly, if the
cause of action can be said to have arisen part within
specified areas in Oudh and part outside the specified
Oudh areas, the litigant will have the choice to institute
proceedings either at Allahabad or Lucknow. The court
will find out in each case whether the jurisdiction of the
court is rightly attracted by the alleged cause of action."
