      As per the amended provisions of the Negotiable Instruments Act, the territorial jurisdiction for a cheque bounce case is at the place where the branch of the bank is situated in which the payee maintains his account. Since you account is in Connaught Place, New Delhi (even though you may be operating it from Ghaziabad), the jurisdiction would be in the court where your Connaught Place bank branch is situated.

      But, if your bank account itself has been transferred to the Ghaziabad branch of SBI, then of course, it is a different thing.
