PIL is like any other writ under Art.226. there is no separate jurisdiction clause governing the same.

PIL should be filed in the HC of the state where the problem is e.g., U cannot file a PIL in Calcutta HC for an action taken by the U.P. Govt. in Lucknow.

Dear Chanchalji,

Any case law is available or provision

Dushyant Pandya (Querist) 25 July 2010
Dear Chanchalji,

Agree with your view but for the same we required any case law or provision of the statute to convince the authority, who is not ready to entertain such important point of territorial jurisdiction.
