Dear Mr. Saurabh
Please confirm, if the marriage has taken place in city C but no cruelity has ever taken place there.. Then as per Jurisdiction can a case be lodged in city C and can other party tranfer this case to city A or B on the grounds that no cruelity has taken place in city C
Please reply ?

If marriage has taken place in city C but no cruelity has been alleged in this city then there is no jurisdiction of any apolice station in that city. However there is a process of 'Zero FIR' which gives powers to the SHO to lodge the FIR without jurisdiction but then it is his lawful duty to transfer the case to correct police station.
The case can be transferred to correct area of jurisdiction to City-A or City-B only if allegations pertain to creulity in any of these cities.

Dear Saurabh,
I have spoken to some lawyers, they are saying it can also be filed where the girl is staying. unfortunately the jurisdiction is made liberal for estranged wives
Do you have any example of any such kind of case which can answer my question ?
