Case Summary: C.A. No. 007219-007220 / 1997 Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed UOI's challenge to the Patna High Court's territorial jurisdiction to hear Ashok Malhotra's writ petition, relying on settled precedent that writ petitions against the Chief of Army Staff can be filed in the High Court where the cause of action arose. Next Steps: The Court directed UOI to approach the Patna High Court's Division Bench within 60 days to challenge the Single Judge's order allowing Malhotra's writ petition on merits, without raising limitation objections. The Court requested expedited hearing given the petition was filed in 1995 and the respondent has since retired.
