NASIRUDDIN vs STATE TRANSPORT APPELLATE TRIBUNAL

The Supreme Court interpreted Paragraphs 7 and 14 of the United Provinces High Courts (Amalgamation) Order, 1948, establishing that the new High Court has jurisdiction over the entire United Provinces and can exercise powers outside its territory as per existing laws. The Court held that cases within the jurisdiction of the Lucknow Bench must be filed there, and if mistakenly filed at Allahabad, they should be transferred to Lucknow rather than dismissed. This ruling clarifies the procedural requirements for jurisdictional matters in the context of the High Court's operations.
