Commandant B/6 Battalion, National Disaster Response Force, Gandhinagar, Gujrat. ---Respondents. ---------------------------------- 03 14.11.2011 Heard Mr. Mrityunjay Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mrs. Binita Singh, learned counsel for the respondent – Union of India. Petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 02.11.2010 (Annexure-6) passed by the disciplinary authority of the National Disaster Response Force as also the order contained in Annexure-7 whereby and whereunder considering the nature of penalty imposed on him the memo of appeal preferred by him has been withheld. Admittedly the proceeding was levied outside the territorial jurisdiction of this Court. The impugned orders have been passed by the authority outside the territorial jurisdiction of this Court. On going through the pleadings on record, it does not appear 2 that any essential or integral part of cause of action has taken place within the territorial jurisdiction of this Court inasmuch as the copies of the impugned order were also served on him outside the territorial jurisdiction of this Court. Learned counsel for the respondents relying on (1994) 4 SCC 711 (Oil & Natural Gas Commission vs. Utpal Kumar Basu & Ors.) as also the division bench judgment of this Court since reported in 2007 (4) PLJR 292 (Mithilesh Kumar Singh vs. The Union of India & Ors.) has rightly contended that this Court, in the facts and circumstances of the case, will lack territorial jurisdiction. Agreeing with the submission of learned counsel for the respondent this Court declines invocation of its extraordinary and discretionary writ jurisdiction. Needless to observe that petitioner will be at liberty to ventilate his grievance before a forum/Court having jurisdiction over the matter. The matter stands disposed of. Sym ( Kishore K. Mandal, J.)
