HC dismissed the writ petition challenging an arrest order under PMLA, finding no territorial jurisdiction. The scheduled offence was registered in Saharanpur, UP, with the Special Court passing the remand order. Despite initial investigative activities in Himachal Pradesh, the primary cause of action and subsequent proceedings were located in UP. The court held that mere preliminary investigative steps do not confer jurisdictional rights, and the trial of money laundering offences should follow the predicate scheduled offence's jurisdiction. Consequently, the HC determined it lacks competence to examine the merits of the arrest order, resulting in the petition's dismissal.
