2000 (9) TMI 925 - SUPREME COURT

Whether the Bombay High Court was right in passing the order rejecting the writ petition on the ground that the Court could not entertain the writ petition as the peti tioner had prayed for quashing the complaint filed against him by J.B. Holdings Ltd. at Shillong?

Held that:- Appeal allowed. It is almost impossible to hold that not even a part of the cause of action has arisen at Bombay so as to deprive the High Court of Bombay of total jurisdiction to entertain the writ petition filed by the petitioner. Even the very fact that major portion of the investigation of the case under the FIR has to be conducted at Bombay itself shows that the cause of action cannot escape from the territorial limits of the Bombay High Court.
