Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order directing the return of the plaint under Order 7 Rule 10-A of the CPC, confirming that the Nagpur court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the suit due to the absence of any significant connection to Nagpur. The Court emphasized that the registered office of the defendants was in Pune, and the agreements were executed there, thus establishing that jurisdiction was properly limited to Pune. The Court affirmed the principle that jurisdiction must be determined based on the location of the parties and the execution of agreements, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
