⚖️ Legal Learning – Territorial Jurisdiction in Commercial Suits ⚖️
📌 Key Point:
Under Section 20(c) of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, delivery of goods and commercial transactions within a particular area can be enough to establish part of the cause of action, giving courts in that area territorial jurisdiction.
🔍 Case Insight:
Goods delivered in Delhi with an invoice.
Participation in exhibitions near Delhi and delivery of goods supported jurisdiction.
Defendant’s argument of a “trap purchase” was rejected.
Territorial jurisdiction is to be finally decided at the trial stage, not at the initial stage.
💡 Takeaway:
If any part of the transaction occurs within a court’s area, that court may have jurisdiction to hear the matter.
