 File a criminal complaint against the local magistrate u/s. 190 (1) (a), 200 Cr.P.C against your wife and the bank manager for offenses punishable u/s. 420, 468, 471 of IPC praying him to refer the matter u/s. 156 (3) for investigation to the local police.

Mr. Srinivas has given an apt reply, follow that...dont expect police will take action...file a pvt. criminal complaint as suggested.

Dear Sirs,

Thanks for the reply.

Can I file the criminal complaint at my home town court against the home town branch manager and my ex-wife as I have got the savings account with this bank. For the same customer id the joint FD was opened in another branch of the bank.

But my ex-wife has submitted the application with forged signature for pre mature withdrawl at her home town branch of the same bank in another state. Do I need to go there (to her home town) and file a criminal complaint at the jurisdiction of her home town branch.

As of now I don't have written communication from the bank that where the forgery occured. Orally they are saying that it was happened at the home town branch of the bank where my ex-wife resides.

Please me suggest.

Thanks,

Venky

Since, the amount was withdrawn from the parent bank though the wife had received the amount at her home town branch. The ultimate effect is that the starting point of crime was the home town of the wife but the end point is the parent bank. So you can file criminal complaint at the local court i.e. your home town court.

Dear Palnitkar Sir,

 Thanks for the reply.

The joint savings a/c is at my home town branch of the bank. The FD was made at the other branch of the bank.(both last resided place ). Wife prematurely withdrawn the FD and transfered the amount to joint savings first and then with drawn. The joint FD is not opened at my home town branch , but the joint savings account is from my home town branch only.

Please confirm with this situation, can I file the case at my home town.

Regards,

Venky

I di agree with Mr. Srinivas.

Dear Prabhakar Sir,

Thanks for the reply. Now I got the forged document which was submitted by my ex-wife to the bank for premature withdrawal of FD. The bank officials are saying before police that the signature is matching with the one in their system. But the signature is not mine.

Now please confirm whether my hometown will have jurisdiction to file the case against my ex-wife as finally she has withdrawn the mony from Joint Savings Account which is held at my home town. First she had broken the FD at her place and transfered the money to joint savings account. The joint savings account is either or survivor withdrawal state.

Now the bank marked the account into No Debit status based on my request. But for forgery and criminal breach of trust I need to file a case against my ex-wife. I cann't go to her place ...Please confirm whether I can file the case at my home town with strong jurisdiction. In the mean time I have gone to her place and had given a complaint to the police station at her place. They have given the receipt but not ready to file forgery case against my ex-wife or bank officials..

Thanks in advance,

Venky

you 'd given a complaint to the police station at her place it means you are also agree about the jurisdiction point. it will go against you

just do as mr shrinivas said.

Dear Sirs,

Thanks for the replies.

You mean a private complaint in the court where my ex-wife surrended the FD receipt.

It is very costly for me and consume lot of time for me  to go there and file a private complaint at her place.

As per palnitkar sir the jurisdiction also lies at my home town as she finally withdrawn the money from joint savings account which lies in my home town.

Please clarify. Also what is the limitation period to file the complaint in the court. Also the same jurisdiction applies for conumer court?

Thanks,

Venky

Dear Sirs,

Could you please get back to me on Jurisdiction, whether I can file a criminal complaint at my home town or not?

Thanks in advance,

Venky.

Dear Prabhakar Sir,

Thanks for the reply. I do agree that the forged signature verification has not done at my home town.The local lawyer at my home town is referring sec 181(4) of crpc and saying that my ex-wife's act comes under misappropriation of property and it(the money) should be returned (or retained)to the savings account which lies in my home town.

---------------

181. Place of trial in case of certain offences.

(4) Any offence of criminal misappropriation or of criminal breach of trust may he inquired into or tried by a court within whose local jurisdiction the offence was committed or any part of the property which is the subject of the offence was received or retained, or was required to be returned or accounted for, by the accused person.

---------------

Sir,  Sorry for troubling you. I'm looking for correct jurisdiction (other than her place) sothat the case should not get dismissed. Could you please tell me your opinion with this interpretation sir.

Thanks in advance,

Venky

Dear Prabhakar Sir,

Could you please get back on this?

Thanks,

Venky

Is the FD in your joint names and it is not Either or Jointly ?

Dear Prabhakar SIr,

Thanks for the reply. I'll wait for your case law.

Dear Sanjeev Sir,

The FD is on joint names only and the withdrawal instruction is joint only.(Not either or survivor)

Thanks,

Venky
