Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Patna High Court's decision to quash the private complaint filed under Section 200 Cr.P.C. on the grounds of lack of territorial jurisdiction of the Judicial Magistrate, Patna, to take cognizance of offences under Sections 406, 420, and 120-B of the Indian Penal Code. The Court emphasized that no part of the cause of action arose within Patna, as the agreement was executed in Rajasthan and the alleged offences occurred there. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
