Mr. Prabhakar Tekriwal, learned counsel for the Food Corporation of India, has raised an objection that this writ application is not maintainable on account of territorial jurisdiction as the petitioner was an employee posted within the territorial jurisdiction of West Bengal, has superannuated from there itself and, thereafter, he has filed application before the Controlling Authority under the Payment of Gratuity Act which was allowed and he has raised a grievance with regard to certain portion of the order.

Learned counsel for the Food Corporation of India is

Patna High Court CWJC No.19208 of 2018(2) dt.12-07-2019 2/2 correct. No cause of action or part thereof has arisen in the State of Bihar.

In that view of the matter, this writ application is dismissed, as not maintainable.

The petitioner, if so advised, may take any legal remedy as is available to him in law.
