Kailashben Mahendrabhai Patel vs The State Of Maharashtra

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of a petition under Section 482 CrPC to quash an FIR filed under Sections 498A, 323, 504, and 506 IPC, affirming that a prima facie case of cruelty was established. The Court noted that the complainant's allegations of threats and deprivation of property were sufficient to maintain the charges against the appellants. The Court also confirmed the jurisdiction of the Jalna court under Sections 178 and 179 of the CrPC, as part of the offence occurred there, thus allowing the criminal proceedings to continue.
