If the cause of action happened in India, the Indian lender can prefer Original Application before DRT.

so in this case, what exactly would be the cause of action Sir? the fact that the Indian lender extended the loan from India? Also, in case the lender decides to take proceedings abroad with the other syndicate lenders, can the borrower raise a bar stating that DRT will have a mandatory jurisdiction in this case? or as lender, I can chose where I want to go ahead with the proceedings- the DRT or a foreign court?
