The complaint can be lodged at any police station irrespective of the fact whether such offence such has occurred here or not.
For jurisdictional error , if any, the case is not dismissed. The HIC at the most can transfer the case to the appropriate place where it should have been tried or investigated.

The case laws are not furnished here. The high court, as rightly observed by expert Mr.Barman, may not dismiss the case but may refer to the proper jurisdiction for further action.
