C.B.I. ANTI CORRUPTION BRANCH,MUMBAI vs NARAYAN DIWAKAR

The Supreme Court held that the Gauhati High Court lacked jurisdiction under Article 226(2) of the Constitution to entertain the writ petition filed by the respondent, as no part of the cause of action arose within its territorial jurisdiction. The Court emphasized that the mere receipt of a wireless message did not constitute a sufficient basis for jurisdiction. Consequently, the Court quashed the High Court's order that had previously allowed the writ petition and dismissed the appeal by the CBI.
