BHURA RAM vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN

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 cause of action arose in Rajasthan. Consequently, the proceedings were quashed, allowing the complainant to file her complaint in the appropriate court.
