Learned counsel for the petitioners further submits that petitioners have no more concern or relation with the Jaipur jurisdiction. Complaint is abuse of process of law because loan agreement was executed in Telangana and loan proceedings were managed by Mumbai office of the respondent is just to harass the petitioners. Present complaint was filed at Jaipur. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that Apex Court in various pronouncements directed that when an accused resides beyond the territorial jurisdiction of the court, then inquiry should be conducted on receipt of complaint u/s 138 of NI Act. Learned counsel for the petitioners also submits that learned court below had not conducted inquiry as directed by Apex Court, so cognizance taken by the court below dt. 6.2.2020 be set aside. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner has relied upon the judgment passed by Hon'ble Apex Court in Suo Motu Writ Petition No.2/2020 decided on 16.4.2021. 5. Learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the petitioners and submitted that court below has rightly taken the cognizance against the petitioners. For taking the cognizance, provisions of Section 142 of the NI Act is applicable. So, court below has rightly taken the cognizance against the petitioners. So, petition filed by the petitioners be dismissed. 6. Learned counsel for the respondent has relied upon the judgment of the Apex Court in M/s Himalaya Self Farming Group & anr. v.

Learned counsel for the respondent has relied upon the judgment of the Apex Court in M/s Himalaya Self Farming Group & anr. v. M/s Goyal Feed Suppliers. Transfer Petition (Criminal) No.273/2020. 7. I have considered the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the petitioners as well as learned counsel for the respondent and learned Public Prosecutor and perused the impugned order. 8. It is an admitted position that loan agreement was executed in Telangana. Petitioner-Company is also situated in Telangana. As per the contentions of the petitioners, loan proceedings were executed in Hyderabad and Mumbai, Jaipur was no more concern at that time. Perusal of the order of the court below, it reveals that court below had not inquired in its order that present jurisdiction is made out or not. Court below had taken cognizance on the basis of written memo of HDFC Bank. So, in my considered opinion, the court below has not examined the point of jurisdiction for taking cognizance. So, order of the trial court is liable to be set aside. 9. The petition filed by the petitioners is allowed and order of the trial court dt. 6.2.2020 is set aside. Trial court is directed to pass afresh cognizance order after taking into consideration of the loan agreement and other documents, within two months.
