https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=111375 Territorial jurisdiction under Article 226 depends on whether a material part of the cause of action arises within the High Court's territory, not on the mere situs of Parliament, a State Legislature, or the place where an enactment is made. Cause of action means the material facts that must be pleaded and proved, and the same approach applies in writ proceedings as under Section 20(c) CPC. Mere service of notice, the place of business, or the location of the law-making authority does not by itself confer jurisdiction. Jurisdiction may arise only where implementation of the law or another legally relevant event creates civil consequences within the forum, and forum conveniens may also justify refusal. en-us Wed, 28 Apr 2004 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 23 Jun 2025 16:42:59 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=111375 Territorial jurisdiction under Article 226 depends on whether a material part of the cause of action arises within the High Court's territory, not on the mere situs of Parliament, a State Legislature, or the place where an enactment is made.
