IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.45153 of 2009 Sanjay Kumar Saini, son of Shri Haricharan Ram, House No. 149, Doranda Bulakman Toli, PS Doranda, District Ranchi, Jharkhand – Petitioner. Vs. 1. The State of Bihar, 2. Sunita Kumari Kashyap, daughter of Shri Ramautar Malakar, House No. 404, Nirmala Bhawan, Magadh Colony Road No. 10, PS Magadh Medical College Hospital, Gaya – opp. parties. 2 29.4.2010 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner has come to this court against the order, dated 21.10.2009 passed by the Subdivisional Judicial Magistrate, Gaya in G.R. Case No. 2387/2007, corresponding to Trial No. 1551/2008, 1224/2009, arising out of Magadh Medical College PS Case No. 66/2007 rejecting the discharge petition of the petitioner who is the husband. Several points have been raised in this case but the only point which this court can consider is the question of territorial jurisdiction. It appear that co-accused persons i.e. family members of the petitioner had come to this court in Cr. Misc. No. 42478/2009, disposed of on 19.3.2010. A bench of this court has found that the court at Gaya lacks the jurisdiction to hear this case. It has further been held that the entire allegations pertain to alleged occurrences at Ranchi and also at Aurangabad where the husband of the informant was posted. In the result, the order dated 21.10.2009 is quashed. The opposite party no.2 is permitted to take steps to file the case in the appropriate court in accordance with law. 2 This application is allowed to the extent indicated above. haque (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
