PREMKUMAR vs STATE OF KERALA

The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdictional issue regarding the filing of an FIR under Section 304B IPC for dowry death, holding that the complaint by the deceased's father in Kerala was valid despite prior investigations in Tamil Nadu. The Court emphasized that jurisdiction is determined by the location of the offence and the circumstances surrounding the death. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to allow the FIR to stand, thereby establishing that jurisdiction can be concurrent in cases involving unnatural deaths.
