Radhakrishnan, J.

Question that arises for consideration in this case is whether this court has got jurisdiction to entertain this writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India when the material, essential and integral part of cause of action arose outside the jurisdiction of this Court.

2. Original petition was preferred seeking a writ of certiorari to quash Exts.P7, P8, P11 and P14 orders and also for a mandamus directing the respondents to drop the disciplinary proceedings against the petitioner and also for other consequential reliefs. Disciplinary proceedings were initiated against the petitioner while he was employed as District Manager at Purnia (Bihar) during June 1981 to November, 1982. Memo of charges dated 19-10-84 was served on the petitioner while he was working in the Office of the Food Corporation of India at Trivandrum. Petitioner replied to the memo of charges. Enquiry officer was appointed and on completion of enquiry petitioner was imposed with a punishment of reducing the pay by two stages by order dated 7-2-1991. Order was communicated to the petitioner while he was working in the FCI Office at Pune. Petitioner preferred an appeal again
