The short point that falls for consideration in this writ petition is whether the primary authority granting the permit can suspend or revoke a permit for breach of the conditions in a different State beyond its Jurisdiction where the permit has been counter-signed by the counter-signing authority of that other State. in other words, does the primary authority has Jurisdiction beyond its territorial limits to suspend or cancel the permit for the breach of any condition by the permit holder within the Jurisdiction of the countersigning authority.
