the territorial jurisdiction of the I Additional District Court, Erode, on the ground that cause of action has not arisen within the jurisdictin of the said Court. The learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that the plaintiff/respondent and the defendant/petitioner were having business contacts and the plaintiff used to supply iron materials to the defendant/petitioner on credit basis. Subsequently, the defendant/petitioner used to pay the cost of the materials to the plaintiff/respondent in a prompt manner. In the course of business, the plaintiff/respondent is alleged to have supplied TMT iron bars and rods at Ingur, Perundurai Taluk, Erode District to the defendant/petitioner herein on credit basis on 19.08.2017. According to the learned counsel for the defendant/petitioner, out of the total amount due, the defendant/petitioner had paid a sum of Rs.10,57,500/- on various dates. Since the receipt of materials and money had taken place at Theni, the suit for recovery of money filed before the I Additional District Court, Erode, is not maintainable.
