Naresh Gupta & Anr vs Sarika Jajodia

The Supreme Court dismissed the Transfer Petition (Crl.) No. 497 of 2008, holding that the question of jurisdiction regarding the trial of the alleged offence in the Chief Judicial Magistrate's Court at Dimapur, Nagaland, should be determined by that court itself. The Court noted that the petitioners could raise the jurisdiction issue before the concerned court, which is expected to resolve it within four months. The petitioners' request to transfer the case to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Delhi, was therefore denied.
