https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=459902 The Delhi HC dismissed a writ petition filed by a Punjab-based medical institute seeking renewal permission for 150 MBBS seats for 2024-25. The petitioner argued jurisdiction existed because the National Medical Commission's head office was located in Delhi. However, the HC applied the doctrine of forum conveniens, ruling that merely having a respondent's office within territorial jurisdiction is insufficient grounds for entertaining the petition. The court emphasized that a substantial part of the cause of action must arise within the jurisdiction, not just a small portion. Since the institute was situated in Punjab, affiliated with a Punjab university, and under Punjab state control, the HC concluded it was not the appropriate forum and dismissed the petition. en-us Tue, 09 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 02 Jan 2025 23:38:22 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=459902 The Delhi HC dismissed a writ petition filed by a Punjab-based medical institute seeking renewal permission for 150 MBBS seats for 2024-25.
