The Patna High Court recently ruled that the findings of the Calcutta High Court cannot be challenged before courts in Patna. This ruling came after the Patna court dismissed objections regarding its jurisdiction over the matter. The case, which involved an appeal questioning the Calcutta High Court’s findings, was examined under the scope of judicial review.
The Patna High Court clarified that it has no jurisdiction to intervene in or alter the decisions made by the Calcutta High Court, emphasizing that challenges to such findings must be pursued in the relevant jurisdiction (i.e., the Calcutta High Court). This aligns with the principle that jurisdictional challenges should be raised in the proper forum, which ensures judicial efficiency and the proper administration of justice
