The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdiction of the Delhi High Court in appeals against orders of the Controller of Patents and Designs under Section 19(1) of the Designs Act, 2000. The Court held that the term 'High Court' in Section 19(2) must be interpreted in relation to the cause of action, which arose from the Controller's decision in Kolkata, thus affirming that only the Calcutta High Court had jurisdiction. Consequently, the appeals filed by M/s. Godrej Sara Lee Ltd. were dismissed, upholding the Delhi High Court's decision regarding jurisdiction.
