Holding that it had no jurisdiction in M/s RSPL Ltd v Mukesh Sharma & Anr, Delhi High Court said that a plaintiff cannot call upon a court to act in a suit “on the premise that the plaintiff is not obliged to lead evidence in his pleadings, and the plea of territorial jurisdiction … should be left to be decided only after the parties have led their evidence at the trial”.

RSPL’s registered office was in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, and its corporate office in New Delhi.
