1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 1489 OF 2009 Sunita Bandu Dhumal ..Petitioner versus Subhash S. Chauhan & Anr. ..Respondents Ms. Badadare i/b. Mr. R. S. Deshpande for Petitioner. Mr. R. S. Alange for Respondent No. 1. Mrs. A. A. Mane – APP for State. CORAM : S. A. BOBDE, J. DATED : 15TH SEPTEMBER, 2009. P.C. : 1. The petitioner has challenged the Order of the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Islampur, dismissing her revision and holding that the complaint filed by the respondent is well within the territorial jurisdiction of the court of the Magistrate at Islampur. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the complainant was a resident of Wategaon, Taluka Valva, and therefore could not have filed the case before the Court of the Metropolitan Magistrate at Islampur. The learned counsel however fairly accepts that the place where the cheque 2 is presented for encashment and the place where the cheque is issued, that court has jurisdiction. The learned counsel for the respondent submitted that the Court at Islampur alone had jurisdiction since Village Wategaon, Taluka Valva is within the jurisdiction of that court at Islampur. 3. The submission on behalf of the respondent appears to be correct. There is a clear observation in paragraph 3 of the impugned order that Village Wategaon, Taluka Valva is within the jurisdiction of the Court at Islampur. There is no statement in this writ petition to the effect that Village Wategaon, Taluka Valva is not within the jurisdiction of the Court at Islampur. Hence there is no merit in the petition, which is hereby dismissed. (S. A. BOBDE, J.)
