PIUS C. KURIAKOSE, J. ------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 33828 OF 2005 ----------------------------------- Dated this the 4th day of June, 2007 JUDGMENT It cannot be said that the arguments of Sri.S.R.Dayananda Prabhu were totally unattractive. But having regard to the contours of this Court's jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution, I am not persuaded to hold that Ext.P4 is so wholly unreasonable as to warrant correction under Article 227. The learned District Judge, is certainly right in his view that at least a part of cause of action has arisen within the limits of Calicut Court and hence that court has jurisdiction to entertain the suit. The Writ Petition will stand dismissed. No costs. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE, JUDGE btt WPC 2
