https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=279365 Territorial jurisdiction for a Section 138 Negotiable Instruments Act complaint depends on the legally relevant acts constituting the offence, read with Sections 177 and 178 CrPC. A cheque drawn on a bank at Bhandara, where the transaction arose, did not confer jurisdiction on Digras merely because the cheque was routed through a bank there. The local bank acted only as an intermediary for presentation and intimation, and the notice issued from Digras did not require payment there. Residence, account details, or later working arrangements at Digras were insufficient to create jurisdiction. The Magistrate at Digras therefore lacked jurisdiction to entertain the complaint. en-us Mon, 04 Sep 2006 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 14 Mar 2019 16:47:50 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=279365 Territorial jurisdiction for a Section 138 Negotiable Instruments Act complaint depends on the legally relevant acts constituting the offence, read with Sections 177 and 178 CrPC.
