The complainant has filed the complaint, alleging deficiency in service on the part of the opposite party and has claimed certain amount mentioned in the complaint.<br /> Considering the facts alleged in the complaint, we heard the complainant regarding territorial jurisdiction and perused the records.<br /> Now, we have to consider whether this Forum has got territorial jurisdiction to entertain and decide the complaint?<br /> For the following reasons, our finding is in negative.<br /> REASONS<br /> Opposite party is at Bangalore. The agreement entered into between the complainant and the opposite party is at Bangalore. The grievance of the complainant is that, as per the agreement, the opposite party did not provide the service. Consequently, the cause of action also arose at Bangalroe.<br /> Sub section 2 of section 11 of the C.P.Act reads as under:-<br /> “A complaint shall be instituted in a District Forum within the local limits of whose jurisdiction – <br /> (a) the opposite party or each of the opposite parties, where there are more than one, at the time of the institution of the complaint, actually and voluntarily resides or (carries on business, or has a branch office or) personally works for gain; or<br /> <br /> (b) Any of the opposite parties, where there are more than one, at the time of the institution of the complaint, actually and voluntarily resides, or (carries on business or has a branch office, or personally works for gain:<br /> PROVIDED that in such case either the permission of the District Forum is given, or the opposite parties who do not reside, or (carry on business or have a branch office), or personally work for gain, as the case may be, acquiesce in such institution; or<br /> (c) the cause of action, wholly or in part, arises.”<br /> In view of the said provisions and the facts of the case on hand, we are of the considered opinion that, this Forum has no territorial jurisdiction to entertain and proceed with the complaint. The complainant submitted that, he is the resident of Mysore. But, complaint shall have to be filed within the territorial jurisdiction, where the opposite party resides or cause of action arose. It is not provided under sub section 2 of section 11 of the C.P.Act, that complaint also can file where the complainant resides. Hence, the following order:<br /> ORDER<br /> The complaint is returned to the complainant for presentation before the proper Forum having territorial jurisdiction, in accordance with law.<br />
