How is the power conferred by clause (1) to be exercised in relation to causes of action arising outside the territories?
The power conferred by clause (1) to issue directions, orders or writs can be exercised by a High Court in relation to the territories within which the cause of action, wholly or in part, arises for the exercise of such power. This means that even if the seat of the Government or authority, or the residence of the person is not within those territories, the High Court can still issue directions, orders or writs as per clause (1).
