ALOK KUMAR MITRA Vs. STATE OF WEST BENGAL

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS revisional application is for quashing of the proceeding in connection with C.R. 103/07 under Sections 498A/323/406/506/497/120B, I.P.C. now pending before the Court of the learned A.C.J.M., Jhargram, Dist. Paschim Medinipur.

(2.) THE factual background in a nut-shell, is that the petitioner No. 1 Alok Kumar Mitra got married with the O.P. No. 2 Rubi Mitra and their marriage was solemnized on 22.11.02 according to Special Marriage Act. By the passage of time the relation between them turned hostile. THE O.P. No. 2 subsequently filed an application under Section 125, Cr.P.C. which has been registered as M.R. 56//07 before the Court of the learned A.C.J.M., Jhargram, Dist. Paschim Medinipur. She, thereafter, filed a case for quashing of which this application has been filed before this Court.

(3.) THE learned Advocate appearing on behalf of the O.P. No. 2 has contended in the same tune with that of the learned Advocate appearing on behalf of the State. He has also invited the attention of this Court to the provision laid down in Section 178(d) of the Code of Criminal Procedure and has contended that where it consists of several acts done in different local areas, it may be inquired into or tried by a Court having jurisdiction over any of such local areas. To give a stand to his argument he has cited a decision reported in AIR 1997 SC 2465.
