Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

Family Law

I am a woman from Kolkata ,

house is at Orissa. I was subjected to physical , mental

torture due to dowry problems and forced to stay

at my parents house at kolkata . I liked to file a

case u/s 498 A at kolkata from

my parents house . But my

Lawer said that , ''you can not be file a FIR or case u/s

498 A from kolkata as the

incidence of torture happened

at orissa. And you have to go Orissa to file FIR or case

u/s 498 A''.

I want to know , is that

the law ? I am now helpless ,

as no one clarify the law .

Please clarify the actual law

or is there any expert lawer at

kolkata to help me in this regard ?

Re: Family Law

If no cause of action or part thereof arose at Kolkata, you can not file a case u/s.498A at Kolkata. However, you can lodge a FIR at Kolkata and Kolkata police after registering an offence will forward the same to police of Orissa for investigation.
