As advised by them, the petitioner states that he sent the Pass Certificate for correction of his father’s name, but the respondents did not send the corrected Pass Certificate.

The petitioner submits that without the original Degree Certificate, he cannot secure any job, and as the respondents did not send the original Degree Certificate, he seeks appropriate directions to the respondents to send the original Degree Certificate of his MBA degree. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. Under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, this Court exercises its territorial jurisdiction in relation to and within the territory of the State of Andhra Pradesh. Admittedly, the petitioner is seeking directions to the respondents – Sardar Vallabhai Patel University, which is situated in the State of Uttar Pradesh. Since the respondents, are not situated within territorial jurisdiction of the State of Andhra Pradesh, this Court has no territorial jurisdiction to issue any writ or order to the respondents. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed for lack of territorial jurisdiction. However, the petitioner is at liberty to approach the High Court within whose territorial jurisdiction the respondents are situated, for appropriate relief. No costs. ______________ N.V.RAMANA, J 02.09.2009 bcj
