STATUS The petitioner Smti Moyi Nyori under Wp(c) 01 (AP) 2017 Writ petition has raised the grievance that although the ejahar dated 13.12.2016 has been filed by the petitioner before the officer-in-charge of itanagar women police station but the same had not been registered by the police. Learned Addl. P.P., Arunachal Pradesh, makes a submission that the alleged offence had taken place outside the state of Arunachal Pradesh and therefore, the Itanagar women police station may not have the jurisdiction to entertain the ejahar. But from the reading of the ejahar, it can be seen that the commission of the offence started in the state of arunachal Pradesh although the subsequent allegation may have taken place outside the state of Arunachal Pradesh. Therefore, the court is the view that a part of the cause of action of the ejahar had occurred in the state of arunachal Pradesh itself. In this regard, the law has already been settled by the Apex court in the case of oil and natural gas commission Vs utpal Kumar basu and ors., reported in (1994) 4 SCC 711, wherein, in paragraph no.5. it has been held that in order to assume jurisdiction, it must be shown that at least, a part of the action had arisen within the territorial jurisdiction. In such view of the matter, as the allegation, in the present case, that the accused came to Itanagar and lured the petitioner, to his native village, goes to show that the cause of action in respect of allegations as made in the ejahar, had originated and started in the state of arunachal Pradesh. Hence this court is of the view that the Itanagar women police station shall register the ejahar, in question, and proceed accordingly, as per law. In the event, after making necessary investigation, the police is still of the view that none of the cause of action had taken place within the jurisdiction of Itanagar women police station, the police would be at liberty to submit any report, as many be deemed appropriate. With the above direction, the instant petition stands disposed of, at the motion stage itself.
