IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.2987 of 2009 SK.JABIR @ JABIR & ANR Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 4. 03.09.2010 The petitioners have sought quashing of the order dated 2.1.2008 by which the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Purnea has taken cognizance for the offence under Sections 498A, 494 and 376 in Amour P.S. Case No. 01 of 2007. The opposite party No.2 alleged that she was married to petitioner No.2 and had been taken away to Delhi but was not allowed to sleep with her husband who had married another lady and on fateful night rape was committed on her by petitioner No.1. Thereafter a Panchayati was held in Purnea but accused persons refused to accept the verdict of the Panchayati. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the Court at Purnea is in want of the territorial jurisdiction since admittedly no part of the occurrence took place within the jurisdiction of Purnea. The counsel for the opposite party No.2 is unable to defend the argument. In view of such, the application is allowed and the order dated 2.1.2008 passed by the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Purnea in Amour P.S. Case No. 01 of 2007 is 2 quashed. The First Information Report and the charge sheet will be handed over to the opposite party No.2 in case she wants to take recourse to the Course of law in Delhi where the occurrence is said to have taken place.
