Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court of Delhi's dismissal of a writ petition challenging the Appellate Tribunal for Foreign Exchange's order, citing lack of territorial jurisdiction under Article 226. The Court reiterated that a High Court must have jurisdiction over the person or authority involved, and referenced Section 35 of the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (FEMA). The ruling emphasized that decisions of one High Court are not binding on authorities outside its jurisdiction, thus maintaining judicial order.
