As per case facts, the petitioner, a CRPF Constable, was removed from service following a joint departmental enquiry for misconduct. He challenged the removal, claiming procedural irregularities like lack of
...proper enquiry, unexamined witnesses, and non-supply of reports. His appeal and revision were rejected. The respondents maintained the enquiry followed rules and the petitioner had opportunities. The question arose whether the High Court had territorial jurisdiction as the incident, dismissal, and appellate authorities were outside its limits, with only the service of orders occurring within. Finally, the High Court dismissed the Writ Petition due to lack of territorial jurisdiction, holding that mere receipt of orders or petitioner's residence does not constitute a substantial cause of action, preventing forum shopping, and did not rule on the merits.
