Kerala High Court:<\/strong> A Division bench comprising of P.R. Ramachandra Menon and Devan Ramachandran, J. while hearing an appeal against the order of a Single judge held that denial of pension benefits to a person residing in a particular State, vests him with the locus <\/em>standi to file the writ petition challenging such denial in that State.<\/p>\n

The appellant, who worked in the Assam Rifles in Shillong, was discharged from service on medical grounds which entitled him to disability pension. However, when he was not sanctioned full pension, he made a representation to competent officials but the same was rejected. The appellant submitted that after he was discharged from service, he had no financial resources to continue to live in Meghalaya and therefore he was constrained to come to Kerala.<\/p>\n

The only issue involved in the matter was as to whether this Court had territorial jurisdiction to entertain the appellant\u2019s writ petition.<\/p>\n

Relying on the dictum of\u00a0 Apex Court in Nawal Kishore Sharma v. Union of India, <\/em>(2014) 9 SCC 329<\/a>, the \u00a0High Court observed that when a party residing within the jurisdiction of a court was denied the benefit of pension by an authority, a part of cause action could be said to have arisen within the jurisdiction of that Court. It is settled law that under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, writ jurisdiction can be exercised by any High Court, if any part of the cause of action, wholly or in part, arises within its territorial limits.<\/p>\n

The Court noted that the request for disability pension was made from Kerala and its rejection was communicated to the petitioner in Kerala. Thus, the appeal was allowed holding that this Court was vested with territorial jurisdiction to entertain the present matter. [K.T. Sudharshanan v. Union of India,2018 SCC OnLine Ker 4003<\/b><\/a>, decided on 28-09-2018]<\/p>\n
