2020 (11) TMI 976 - HC - Central ExciseMaintainability of petition - Territorial Jurisdiction - Petitioner approached this Court instead of High Court of Karnataka at Bangalore - Principle of forum conveniens - HELD THAT:- The reason stated by the Petitioner for having approached this Court instead of High Court of Karnataka at Bangalore is that the 'seat of authority' of the First Respondent is situated at Chennai within the territorial limits of jurisdiction of this Court. Even if it is assumed that in addition to the High Court of Karnataka, this Court would also have territorial jurisdiction, the principle of forum conveniens would come into play as held by the Division Bench of this Court in C. RAMESH VERSUS THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE, THE INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE, [2013 (6) TMI 888 - MADRAS HIGH COURT]. There does not appear to be any justification to entertain the Writ Petition for the relief sought in this Court - Petition dismissed.
