ORDER 1. Seeking to quash the proceedings in S.T.C No. 11 of 2012 on the file of the learned Fast Track Judicial Magistrate, Thiruthuraipoondi, Nagapattinam District, the petitioner has come up with this petition. 2. The only ground urged by the learned counsel for the petitioner in this petition is that the learned Judicial Magistrate lacks territorial jurisdiction to entertain the complaint. According to himr the petitioner herein is the resident of Chennai and the cheque was also issued at Chennai drawn on IC1CI Bank, Chennai. Simply because the respondent is the resident of Thiruthuraipoondi and the cheque was presented for collection there the learned Judicial Magistrate shall not have jurisdiction, it is contended. In this regard, the learned counsel relied on the judgment of this Court in Mohammed Haneef v. Shankarraj (2011) 4 MLJ (Crl) 66. 3. A perusal of the above judgment would go to show that if the complainant resides at a particular place and the cheque was presented in that place for collection and notice was issued there, then the Court having jurisdiction at that place shall have jurisdiction to entertain the complaint. In this case, allegation made in the complaint is crystal clear and the respondent/complainant is the permanent resident at Thiruthuraipoondi. The cheque was presented for collection at Thiruthuraipoondi and notice was also issued from Thiruthuraipoondi. Thus, the lower Court has got jurisdiction to entertain the complaint. In view of the above, the only contention raised by the petitioner is rejected. 4. Accordingly, the Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. Consequently, the connected Miscellaneous Petitions are closed. Petition dismissed.
