17] In the case of Sujata Mukherjee (Smt.) vs. Prashant Kumar
Mukherjee 2 relied upon on behalf of respondent/complainant, the
Honourable Supreme Court, dealt with the allegations of continuing offence
committed in more local areas than one. There were allegations made in the
complaint that the complainant was subjected to cruelty persistently at
Raigarh and also at Raipur and incident taking place at Raipur is not isolated
event but consequential to the series of incidents taking place at Raigarh.
Therefore, in view of the provision of Section 178 of Cr.P.C. it was held that
the offence of cruelty meted out to the complainant was continuing one. It
was also observed that the High Court was wrong in appreciating the scope
of the proceeding on the footing that several isolated events had taken place
at Raigarh and one isolated incident had taken place at Raipur. Hence, the
criminal case filed in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate was only
maintainable against the respondent husband, against whom some overt act
at Raipur was alleged. While appreciating the circumstances on record, the
Honourable Supreme Court observed in para.7 as under :-
Article 226 in Constitution of India [Constitution]
Article 227 in Constitution of India [Constitution]
The Indian Penal Code, 1860
Section 323 in The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 [Entire Act]

jurisdiction to deal with criminal proceedings instituted against applicants
and petitioner Amol. He also harped on the circumstances that in view of
allegations made in the FIR it cannot be said that the offence of cruelty was
continuing one. In such circumstances the proceedings against these
applicants are required to be quashed and set aside. Learned counsel for
petitioner/applicants relied upon the judicial pronouncements of Honourable
Apex Court in the case of Bhuraram and others Vs. State of Rajasthan
reported in AIR 2008 SC 2666 and in the case of Y. Abraham Ajith and
others vs. Inspector of Police, Chennai and another reported in 2004
