GURDEEP KAUR Vs. UNION OF INDIA

JUDGEMENT

(1.) MOHINDER Pal Singh (hereinafter referred to as the detenu) was detained by orders of the Central Government dated August 1, 1989, Annexure P-3, under section 3(1) of the Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act, 1974. In the present petition his wife has challenged the detention on various grounds. A preliminary objection has been raised that this Court has no jurisdiction.

(2.) LEARNED counsel for the petitioner referred to the provisions of Article 226 of the Constitution, as amended, and submitted that accrual of a part of cause of action within the jurisdiction of this Court will invest this Court with jurisdiction to entertain the present petition. This proposition cannot and has not been disputed. The only question to be seen is whether any part of cause of action arose within the jurisdiction of this Court.

(3.) FOR the reasons mentioned above, I find that this Court has no jurisdiction. The petition is dismissed on this short ground.
