A reference in this behalf may usefully be made to the judgment of National Textile Corporation Ltd. & Ors., vs.Haribox Swalram & Ors., 2009 (9) S.C.786. Since no part of cause of action arises within the jurisdiction of this Court, this Court does not have the territorial jurisdiction. Consequently, this petition is dismissed. The petitioner may, however, if advised file appropriate proceedings before the Court having the requisite territorial jurisdiction. ( A.V.POTDAR, J.) ( P.V.HARDAS, J.) vvr/5475.09wp
