M/S. KUSUM INGOTS & ALLOYS LTD. vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of territorial jurisdiction of High Courts under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, specifically whether the seat of Parliament or State Legislature is relevant. The Court held that the High Court of Delhi lacked jurisdiction to entertain the writ petition as the cause of action did not arise within its territorial limits, referencing Clause (2) of Article 226 and Section 20(c) of the Code of Civil Procedure. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
