Sumer Builders Pvt. Ltd vs Narendra Gorani

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to revoke the leave granted under Clause 12 of the Letters Patent for filing a petition under Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The Court emphasized that the territorial jurisdiction lies where the immovable property is situated, as the disputes arose from the development agreement and the Memorandum of Understanding executed in Indore. The ruling clarifies that jurisdiction for arbitration-related matters must align with the location of the subject property, reinforcing the principle that the court at the place of the property has authority over disputes concerning it.
