Present writ petition came up for admission on 12.09.2025 and this Court passed the following order. "The present petition has been filed challenging the First Information Report dated 04.06.2025 registering Case Crime No. 0050 of 2025, under Sections 85, 352, 74, 89 B.N.S., 2023 as well as Section 3/4 Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, Police Station-Mahila Thana, District-Meerut. It has been argued by learned counsel for the petitioners that the first information report could not have been registered in Meerut and the Mahila Thana or the police of Meerut or in any district in Uttar Pradesh does not have the jurisdiction to investigate into the allegations as made in the first information report. It has been argued that no act is said to have been committed by the petitioners in any district in Uttar Pradesh and, therefore, even if the offences are continuing offences, Section 198(c) is not applicable in the present case. It has been further argued that the first information report is false and has been lodged only to settle the dispute with petitioner No. 2 who had filed the complaint against the parents of respondent No. 3, who had allegedly cheated the petitioner No. 2. The matter requires consideration. The A.G.A. represents the respondent Nos. 1 and 2. Issue notice to respondent No. 3. The respondents may file their counter affidavit within eight weeks. The petitioner shall have four weeks thereafter to file his rejoinder affidavit. List after expiry of the aforesaid period before appropriate Bench.
