2022 (4) TMI 1595 - PATNA HIGH COURTInvocation of territorial jurisdiction of this Court - Disqualification for future employment - petitioner who was working on the post of assistant Sub-Inspector, CISF was dismissed from service - Seeking reinstatement of petitioner with continuity of service and consequential benefit including back wages - partial cause of action - HELD THAT:- MeIn view of merely the fact that petitioner is a resident of State of Bihar and certain correspondences have been made by him and that does not accrues any partial cause of action to the petitioner in the State of Bihar so as to entertain writ petition. If this analogy is accepted every aggrieved person sitting at his/her home town invoke territorial jurisdiction of the respective State High Court, even though contesting respondent's office or residence is in a different place-territorial jurisdiction. For example employee of the respondents if he is resident of Tamil Nadu and make correspondence from Tamil Nadu and he cannot invoke jurisdiction of Madras High Court as employer and employee relation would be only at Assam/West Bengal. If the employer is Union of India one can understand. If the other than Union of India, in that event, invoking Article 226(2) of Constitution is not feasible and appropriate. It is to be noted that 1st respondent is not necessary and proper party, he has been unnecessarily impleaded, since no order of 1st respondent is under challenge -- Accordingly, writ petition stands rejected on the score that this Court has no territorial jurisdiction in respect of quashing the action of the respondents-Assam/State of West Bengal.
