KUSHI NAGAR (U.P.) -------- OPPOSITE PARTIES. ----------- 2. 11.10.2010 Heard the parties. The petitioners have sought quashing of the order dated 1.7.2010 passed by Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Bagaha, in Trial No. 1454 of 2010 arising out of Complaint Case No. 504C of 2000 by which charges have been framed under Sections 498A and 323/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The submission of the counsel for the petitioners is that from the narrative of the complaint itself, it is apparent that no part of the cause of action took place within the jurisdiction of West Champaran and, therefore, the court at Bagaha has no territorial jurisdiction in the matter. The counsel for the Opposite Party No. 2 is also unable to defend this submission. In view of such, the Complaint Case No. 504C of 2 2004 pending before the Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Bagaha, is directed to be returned to the Complainant for necessary action in the matter. With these observations, the application is disposed of. S.Ali ( Anjana Prakash, J.)
