The petitioners seeks quashing of FIR bearing C.R.No.I-228 of 2006 lodged at Shahpur Police Station, District - Thane, solely on the ground that the facts alleged in the complaint do not disclose the same having occurred within the jurisdiction of the said Shahpur Police Station. -(2)- 3. Merely because a FIR is registered in relation to an offence having been committed within the jurisdiction of a different police station, that by itself cannot be a ground for quashing the FIR. Nothing prevents the investigating machinery from transferring the FIR to a different police station within whose jurisdiction the offence might have been committed. There is no other ground canvassed for quashing of the FIR. The petition is therefore liable to be dismissed. Hence, the Writ Petition stands dismissed.
