Counsel for the petitioner submits that the Court at Patna does not have the territorial jurisdiction to take cognizance in Special Case No. 05 of 2006 (R. C. 10(A) of 2006) under Sections 120B, 420, 467, 468 & 471 of the Indian Penal Code. The prosecution case is that on the basis of a forged First Information Report and a fabricated report of the Surveyor, a report was presented before the New India Assurance Company who on the basis of the report has made payment of the insurance amount to the accused Ratan Mittal, proprietor of M/s Durga Trading Company which has its office at Kolkata. The question of jurisdiction is essentially a question of fact and as such this Court does not find any ground to interfere with the order taking cognizance dated 05.06.2007 at this stage. The question of territorial jurisdiction may be raised by the petitioner at an appropriate stage, if he is 2 so advised. This application is accordingly dismissed. Anand ( Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
