https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=302082 Territorial jurisdiction under Article 226 to quash an FIR depends on where the relevant cause of action arises, namely where the complaint is lodged and the criminal proceeding is registered. Sections 177 and 178 CrPC govern place of inquiry and trial, but do not determine High Court jurisdiction under Article 226. Applying that principle, a petition challenging an FIR registered at Jaipur could not be entertained by the Gujarat High Court, as the relevant proceeding was pending outside its territorial limits. The petition was therefore not maintainable before that Court and was dismissed without examination of the merits. en-us Thu, 12 Feb 2009 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 04 May 2022 10:37:45 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=302082 Territorial jurisdiction under Article 226 to quash an FIR depends on where the relevant cause of action arises, namely where the complaint is lodged and the criminal proceeding is registered.
