Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdictional issues in criminal cases under Section 498A IPC, Section 506B IPC, and Section 323 IPC. The Court held that the complaint against the husband was maintainable in Raipur due to allegations of assault occurring there, while the complaints against the other respondents were not maintainable as the incidents took place solely in Raigarh. The Court emphasized that the High Court erred in treating the events as isolated rather than part of a continuous course of conduct.
