https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=314278 Kerala HC dismissed a writ petition challenging the territorial jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution. The petitioner sought directions to central government authorities to finalize selection for central pool seats. The court held that writ petitions against central government can only be maintained where cause of action arises wholly or partially within Kerala HC's territorial limits. The court distinguished between "cause of action" and "right of action," noting Article 226(2) uses the former term. Since the decision-making authorities were located in New Delhi and no facts having nexus to Kerala's territorial limits needed to be proved, the petitioner was directed to approach Delhi HC instead. en-us Thu, 19 Jun 2014 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 29 May 2024 21:16:49 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=314278 Kerala HC dismissed a writ petition challenging the territorial jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution.
