Mr. R.K. Tiwari, Advocate for the applicants. AGP for the State. CORAM : A.B. CHAUDHARI, J. DATED : 29th March, 2010. The impugned order in the present application was passed by Judicial Magistrate, First Class, Wada Dist. Thane on 08/12/2006 in criminal case no. 424 of 2006. The matter arises out of complaint under section 138 and 2 according to the complainant, the cause of action arose at that place and that is why the complaint came to be filed in the court at Wada, District Thane. The learned counsel for the applicant argued that this bench of the Bombay High Court will be entitled to decide this matter as no cause of action for filing the complaint in the lower court arose at Wada District Thane and therefore this court should adjudicate the issue in question. I do not agree. This bench has territorial jurisdiction to entertain the matters only in respect of the districts in Vidarbha region. Admittedly, the matter in question was filed in the court at Wada in Thane District. Order of process was issued by Wada Court, District Thane. Obviously, therefore, the jurisdiction would be at the principal seat of Bombay High Court as Bombay High Court has jurisdiction over district Thane. In my opinion, it is wholly improper and inappropriate to entertain the revision application at the Nagpur Bench of the Bombay High Court and therefore the Registry is directed to return Criminal Revision Application no. 1799/2007 to the applicant for being presented at the Principal seat of the Bombay High Court. This shall be done within four weeks from today. Interim order made by this court to continue for the period of four weeks only. JUDGE Hirekhan
