Case brief

AI extract

What is this about?

This judgment disposed of three writ petitions challenging orders of the District Court granting jurisdiction over civil suits. Relying on counsel's submission that the District Court lacked jurisdiction, the High Court quashed the impugned orders and set aside the decisions allowing the suits to proceed in that forum.

What did the court decide?

The impugned orders dated 08.12.2016, 21.11.2016, and 26.10.2016 passed by the District Court are set aside. Liberty is reserved to the respondent/plaintiffs.
