OM PRAKASH SRIVASTAVA vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court held that the Delhi High Court had jurisdiction under Article 226(2) of the Constitution to entertain the writ petition filed by the appellant regarding his extradition and treatment in prison, despite the High Court suggesting that the Allahabad High Court could address the grievances more effectively. The Court emphasized that the choice of High Court lies with the petitioner, and the jurisdiction should not be declined merely based on convenience. The appeal was allowed, affirming the right of the appellant to seek redress in the Delhi High Court.
