Supreme Court Transfers Commercial Suit from Delhi to Madras High Court, Condemns Forum Shopping
The Supreme Court criticized the practice of forum shopping, ruling that territorial jurisdiction alone does not justify choosing a particular court or imply hierarchy among high courts. It transferred a commercial lawsuit from the Delhi High Court to the Madras High Court, noting that the parties were based in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, neighboring states with relevant jurisdiction. The court emphasized that perceptions of certain high courts being better suited for specific disputes are misguided and stressed the importance of appropriate local jurisdiction.
