Dishonour of Cheque - territorial jurisdiction of the Magistrate - The territorial jurisdiction of the learned Magistrate is decided as per section 142A of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. It is the branch of payee bank which confers jurisdiction on the Court. Therefore, merely because two complaints are filed at two different places by itself does not raise ground for challenging order of issuance of process on the ground of lack of territorial jurisdiction. - HC
