NEERAJ KUMAR Vs. STATE OF HARYANA

JUDGEMENT

(1.) PETITIONER is alleged to have slapped, maltreated his wife, demanded dowry and committed unnatural offence.

(2.) COUNSEL for the Petitioner has vehemently contended that the case has been registered at Kurukshetra whereas the occurrence is alleged to have taken place at Amritsar, as such, police at Kurukshetra, will not have any jurisdiction. He has placed reliance upon Y. Abraham Ajith and Ors. v. Inspector of Police, Chennai and Anr. : 2004 (8) SCC 100, wherein in a case of harassment of wife at place N, on account of dowry, the wife having gone to Chennai and filed a petition at Chennai was held to be bad.

(3.) I have considered the facts and circumstances of the present case. The allegations levelled by the complainant against the Petitioner cannot be treated to be same as that of the allegations against co -accused. There does not exist any parity with the case of co -accused of the Petitioner.
