The petitioners argued the trial court lacked jurisdiction as the complainant's bank account was initially at Nanganallur Branch but later transferred to Kilpauk Branch. The court held that since the complainant requested account transfer to Kilpauk Branch before presenting the cheques, and the cheques were presented at Kilpauk Branch, the Metropolitan Magistrate at Egmore had territorial jurisdiction.
