The HC dismissed the writ petition for lack of territorial jurisdiction. Despite allegations of procedural irregularities in customs seizure and violation of natural justice principles, the court found no substantial cause of action within its territorial jurisdiction. The petitioner's business location and transportation of allegedly smuggled goods from a specific region did not establish a sufficient nexus to invoke the court's writ powers under Article 226(2). The court held that the fundamental allegations regarding improper witness examination and custodial statements did not create a valid jurisdictional foundation. Consequently, the writ petition was closed, leaving the petitioner without judicial remedy in this forum.
