High court jurisdiction for article 226 writ petition

If I live in the state of Uttar Pradesh and want to file a writ petition against a Central Government Department based in New Delhi, which High Court will have jurisdiction over the matter ? Can I file the petition in either the Delhi or Allahabad High Court depending on my convenience?

If the subject matter of the writ petition is within Delhi Jurisdiction thne only file it there.

A writ Caveat petition may be filed before any High Court, in whole or in part, whose jurisdiction the cause of action arises, in accordance with Article 226. Whether or not the authority the writ petition is filed against is located within the territory is irrelevant.
