Bhura Ram And Ors vs State Of Rajasthan & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Sri Ganganagar, lacked jurisdiction to try the case under Sections 498A and 406 IPC, as the cause of action arose in Punjab where the alleged offences occurred. The Court distinguished the facts from Y. Abraham Ajith v. Inspector of Police, emphasizing that no part of the offence was committed in Rajasthan. Consequently, the proceedings were quashed, and the complaint was directed to be returned to the complainant for filing in the appropriate court.
