Wherein, complicated facts and contracts find a place, careful analysis of law and the phrases used therein gains a more prominent place than ever. Clarifying the concept of arising "cause of action" and jurisdiction, is the latest Supreme Court judgment rendered in Laxman Prasad v. Prodigy Electronics Ltd. & Anr. [2008 (37) PTC 209 (SC)].
