My friend stay in hyderabad and she lived with him for only 7 days she went back to her parents in rajahmundry and there she filed the case since her father is working as head constable in rajahmundry police station. Since he is working there, she registered the complaint there. Is territorial jurisdiction not applicable on 498a case, can we fight on that grounds. Please help him

Re: Regarding 498A

you can well take such plea but it would be a final plea and if you want to challenge such at this stage you can file a petition u/s 482 of CrPC so that you can get the relief as lower courts have no such inherent power as that of High Court
