The dominant issue was whether part of the cause of action arose within the territorial jurisdiction of the Court to entertain a writ challenging anti-dumping final findings on grounds of violation of natural justice and arbitrariness. Applying the test that only facts having a direct nexus with the lis constitute cause of action, the Court held that alleged adverse business impact or commercial engagements within the State were not integral to establishing the asserted infringement of fair procedure under Article 14, and the challenge would survive even if those averments were removed.
