As per case facts, the plaintiff, an officer, filed a defamation suit over a TV series containing content he claimed damaged his reputation. He asserted Delhi's jurisdiction due to the ... series' promotion and viewing in the city, affecting his professional standing. Defendants contended that jurisdiction lay in Mumbai, where they and the plaintiff reside, and where the alleged wrong also occurred. The question arose regarding the Delhi High Court's territorial jurisdiction under Section 19 of the CPC, especially concerning the "Merger Rule" from `Tejpal` for online defamation. Finally, the Court concluded that since the primary defendants and the plaintiff reside in Mumbai, and the wrong was also admitted to have occurred there, the "Merger Rule" applies. Thus, jurisdiction lies exclusively with Mumbai courts, and the Delhi High Court returned the plaint.
