Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of jurisdiction in contractual disputes, emphasizing that the exclusive jurisdiction clause in the agreement, which stipulated that all disputes would be subject to Calcutta jurisdiction, is binding on the parties. The Court held that the Respondent's suit filed in Vijayawada was not maintainable due to this clause, thereby reversing the lower court's decree that favored the Respondent. The judgment reinforces the principle that parties must adhere to agreed-upon jurisdictional clauses in contracts.
