Geeta Mehrotra & Anr vs State Of U.P. & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to dispose of the appellants' application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing the cognizance taken under Sections 498A/323/504/506 IPC and Sections 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The Court clarified that the question of territorial jurisdiction should be determined by the trial court rather than the High Court under Section 482. The interim protection granted to the appellants was maintained, allowing them to seek relief from the trial court regarding the jurisdiction issue.
