Learned counsel for the petitioners drew my attention<\/p>\n<p>                    towards contents of complaint petition and submitted that as per<\/p>\n<p>                    complaint petition itself, the entire occurrence took place under<\/p>\n<p>                    the jurisdiction of Barh, District-Patna whereas the complaint case<\/p>\n<p>                    has been filed in the court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate,<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                       2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Lakhisarai who had got no jurisdiction to take cognizance of the<\/p>\n<p>aforesaid complaint case. To fortify his above stated contention,<\/p>\n<p>he referred a decision reported in 2008 (3) PLJR SC 367 in which<\/p>\n<p>it has been held by the Apex Court of this country that offences<\/p>\n<p>under Sections 498 (A) 406 and 147 of the Indian Penal Code<\/p>\n<p>cannot be tried by the court where cause of action has not accrued<\/p>\n<p>at all. On the strength of above stated decision, he prays for<\/p>\n<p>quashing the impugned order dated 13.07.2007 passed in<\/p>\n<p>Complaint Case No. 24 C of 2007.\n<\/p>\n<p>              On the other hand, learned Additional Public<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutor appearing for the State submitted that offence under<\/p>\n<p>Section 498 (A) is a continuing offence and according to<\/p>\n<p>complaint case, after ouster from matrimonial home, the<\/p>\n<p>complainant is residing at Lakhisarai. So, she rightly chose to file<\/p>\n<p>complaint case in the court of Additional Chief Judicial<\/p>\n<p>Magistrate, Lakhisarai. It is also contended by him that even if, it<\/p>\n<p>assumed that learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate,<\/p>\n<p>Lakhisarai\/Judicial Magistrate, Lakhisarai had got no jurisdiction<\/p>\n<p>to try the above stated complaint case, then also, cognizance taken<\/p>\n<p>by the court of Lakhisarai is not bad in the eye of law and, at best,<\/p>\n<p>this court may transfer the aforesaid complaint petition to the<\/p>\n<p>concerned court which has got jurisdiction to try the offence of<\/p>\n<p>complaint case no. 24 C of 2007.\n<\/p>\n<p>              As I have already stated that on behalf of the<\/p>\n<p>Opposite Party No. 2 none has appeared before this Court in spite<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                       3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>of service of notice. So, in my view, this petition can be disposed<\/p>\n<p>of on admission stage itself on the basis of materials available on<\/p>\n<p>the record as well as submissions of the parties.<\/p>\n<p>              It is manifest from perusal of contents of complaint<\/p>\n<p>petition that the entire occurrence took place under the<\/p>\n<p>jurisdiction of Barh, District-Patna whereas complaint case has<\/p>\n<p>been filed in the court of District-Lakhisarai. It is apparent from<\/p>\n<p>the above stated decision reported in 2008(3) PLJR SC 367 that<\/p>\n<p>the court in whose jurisdiction the cause of action has not<\/p>\n<p>accrued, has got no jurisdiction to proceed with the case. In the<\/p>\n<p>present case, admittedly, the court of Lakhisarai had got no<\/p>\n<p>jurisdiction to proceed with the complaint case no. 24 C of 2007<\/p>\n<p>as much as the entire occurrence had taken place under the<\/p>\n<p>jurisdiction of Barh, District-Patna and, therefore, I am of the<\/p>\n<p>considered opinion that learned counsel for the petitioners has<\/p>\n<p>rightly submitted that the impugned order passed by learned Sub<\/p>\n<p>Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Lakhisarai is bad in law and<\/p>\n<p>cannot sustain in the eye of law.\n<\/p>\n<p>              So far as the submission of learned Additional<\/p>\n<p>Public Prosecutor is concerned, in my view, the same are not<\/p>\n<p>tenable because as per complaint case itself, the alleged<\/p>\n<p>occurrence had taken place under the jurisdiction of Barh,<\/p>\n<p>District-Patna and, therefore, it cannot be said that the Lakhisaria<\/p>\n<p>Court has also got jurisdiction to proceed with the case as an<\/p>\n<p>offence under Section 498 (A) of the Indian Penal Code is a<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                 4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>          continuing offence.\n<\/p>\n<p>                        On the basis of aforesaid discussions, in my view, it<\/p>\n<p>          is a fit case in which this Court must exercise its power vested<\/p>\n<p>          under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C. and, accordingly, this petition is<\/p>\n<p>          allowed and the impugned order dated 13.07.2007 passed by Sri<\/p>\n<p>          Rakesh Chandra Shrivastava, learned Sub Divisional Judicial<\/p>\n<p>          Magistrate, Lakhisarai in Complaint Case No. 24 C of 2007 is<\/p>\n<p>          quashed.\n<\/p>\n<p>                        However, the Complaint Case No. 24 C of 2007 be<\/p>\n<p>          returned to the complainant, if she is available. Furthermore, she<\/p>\n<p>          may file fresh complaint case before the court of Barh, District-<\/p>\n<p>          Patna, if she is so advised.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<pre>SHAHZAD                             ( Hemant Kumar Srivastava, J.)\n <\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patna High Court &#8211; Orders Rupesh Sharma &amp; Ors vs State Of Bihar &amp; Anr on 13 October, 2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc.
