Facts that are merely incidental, such as receipt of communications, local business activity, or earlier unrelated proceedings, do not by themselves create territorial jurisdiction. On the pleadings, the impugned conciliation, its termination, and the reference to arbitration arose outside the territorial limits, so the local facts were neither material nor germane to the writ petition. The High Court therefore lacked territorial jurisdiction to entertain it, and the refusal to do so was upheld. en-us Fri, 24 May 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 06 Jan 2026 22:17:18 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=465701 Article 226(2) confers writ jurisdiction only where the whole or part of the cause of action arises within the High Court's territory, and the pleaded facts must form an integral part of the lis with a real nexus to the relief sought.
