UNION OF INDIA vs ALAPAN BANDYOPADHYAY

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of jurisdiction concerning the transfer of an Original Application under the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985. The Court held that the cause of action and the place of filing remain crucial in determining the jurisdiction of the High Court for judicial review, even when the application is transferred to another Bench. The Court ultimately set aside the High Court's order that had overturned the transfer decision made by the Central Administrative Tribunal.
