Delhi High Court: Aryan Infraheight vs. Signature Global Jurisdiction Dispute Resolved

Quick Summary: The Delhi High Court decided it doesn't have the authority to handle the case between Aryan Infraheight P Limited and Signature Global India Ltd. The court said the issues should be dealt with in Gurugram, where the projects and business activities are based.

Background of the Case

Aryan Infraheight P Limited filed complaints against Signature Global India Ltd over disagreements about construction projects in Gurugram, Haryana. These projects included work on housing developments named "Superbia," "SG CITY-81," and "Proxima-2."

The Dispute

The main problem was about not doing what was promised in the contract. Aryan Infraheight wanted temporary help from the court to stop Signature Global from selling or taking apart equipment at the construction sites. However, the court didn't agree to this request.

Jurisdiction Argument

Aryan Infraheight claimed that the Delhi High Court should handle the case because their contract mentioned Delhi courts. However, Signature Global argued that all the work and business happened in Gurugram.

Court's Decision

Justice Jyoti Singh decided that the Delhi High Court doesn't have the authority to handle the case because:

• The projects and related work were in Gurugram.
• Signature Global's main office is in Gurugram, not Delhi.
• The part of the contract that mentioned Delhi courts can't be used if it tries to give power to a court that shouldn't have it.

The court dismissed the complaints because it didn't have the right to handle them but allowed Aryan Infraheight to take their issues to the appropriate court in Gurugram. This decision shows how important it is to consider where business activities happen and where contracts are signed when deciding which court should handle a case.
