A.P. State Electricity Board vs Mateti S.V.S.Ramachandra Rao

The Supreme Court interpreted Section 62 of the Copyright Act, 1957 and Section 134(2) of the Trade Marks Act, 1999, establishing that a plaintiff can file a suit in the jurisdiction where they carry on business, irrespective of where the cause of action arose. The Court held that the High Court's interpretation, which required a connection between the cause of action and the jurisdiction, was incorrect. The appeal was allowed, setting aside the High Court's order that dismissed the plaintiff's application for amendment regarding jurisdiction.
