The main submission of learned counsel for the applicant- accused is that as per the first information report the alleged offence is stated to have been committed at P.S.- Rath, District- Hamirpur but it was registered at P.S.- Palimukimpur, District- Aligarh, which is in contravention of the provisions contained in Chapter XIII of Cr.P.C. It has also been asserted that the first informant/ opposite party no.2 is a muscle man and is associated with anti-social elements and he is the resident of District- Aligarh, and has threat perception as the trial which is being conducted in District- Aligarh may cause danger to the life of the applicant, therefore, the matter be transferred to some other district for the ends of justice. 6. Per contra, learned AGA for the State has refuted the aforesaid submission on the ground that the contention raised by the applicant pertains to the jurisdiction of the court which cannot be adjudicated under Section 407 Cr.P.C. 7. Upon having heard learned counsel for the parties and on perusal of records, it transpires that the ground raised by the applicant-accused pertains to the jurisdiction of the court concerned, cannot be adjudicated in an application moved under Section 407 Cr.P.C. 8. In view of above, the application has no merit and is accordingly dismissed. Order Date :- 17.1.2025 Mohini Digitally signed by :- MOHINI RAI High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
