Question on jurisdiction of Trial Court

[Dr. Ashok Dhamija]

While I do not know the full facts of your case and I have not seen the FIR or the investigation papers, generally speaking in cases under Section 498-A and 406 IPC, several continuing incidents of cruelty are mentioned. If multiple incidents are shown (as you have referred to an incident of 01.09.2017 at Lucknow), then the jurisdiction lies at any of the places where part of the transaction or part-incident has taken place. In your case, in that scenario, the jurisdiction can be at both places.

However, for getting a more accurate opinion on the basis of the actual detailed facts of your case, as mentioned in the FIR itself or as revealed in the subsequent investigation, please show your documents to some local lawyer.
