In the light of the decision in Meenakshi Sathish v Southern Petrochemical Industries [2007(1) KLT 890], these petitions are clearly not maintainable before this Court as cognizance has been taken by a court outside the territorial jurisdiction of this Court. 3. These Writ Petitions are, in these circumstances, dismissed. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) rtr/-
