2020 (8) TMI 794 - HC - Companies LawRestoration of name of Petitioner in the Register of Companies - territorial jurisdiction of the Court - the cause of action arose due to the act of the ROC in Chennai and not the Central Government’s act of directing the SFIO investigation. HELD THAT:- The impact of Sub-Rule 3(1) on the striking-off of the name of the Petitioner-Company would be a legal argument which the Petitioner would have to raise before the appropriate forum. The said forum would be entitled to consider the effect of Sub-Rule 3(1) and also to examine the legality of the order dated 25th October, 2019. The mere fact that the Central Government may have directed the SFIO investigation, would not vest jurisdiction in this Court, especially when the specific order impugned in this case has been passed by the ROC in Chennai. Accordingly, this Court is of the view that this Court lacks territorial jurisdiction to entertain the present writ petition. The present petition is dismissed, with liberty to the Petitioner to approach the appropriate forum in accordance with law.
