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 ?

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.
