Explanation:

1. The High court can issue writs to any person outside its territorial jurisdiction after the Fifteenth Amendment of the Constitution in 1963 inserted a new clause to Art 226 as Clause 1A which alterd the earlier position on territorial jurisdiction of High Courts under tier Writ Jurisdiction.

Article 226 read as
The power conferred by clause (1) to issue directions, orders or writs to any Government, authority or person may also be exercised by any High Court exercising jurisdiction in relation to the territories within which the cause of action, wholly or in part, arises for the exercise of such power, notwithstanding that the seat of such Government or authority or the residence of such person is not within those territories.

2. An aggrieved person cannot approach the Supreme Court directly against the decision of a tribunal, as he/she needs to first approach the High Court in case of any grievance.
