Dear Experts
I have a query related to movables property jurisdiction for a private criminal complaint.
The background is as follows: My grandmother who expired in 1993 last resided in Pune with my chacha. She had kept all her papers in her matrimonial house. Hence my Chacha was aware of all her bank accounts, locker details etc.
After a few years of her death, my chacha did cheating. He made false affidavits by conniving with all his sisters..
False affidavits deliberately omitted my father’s legal rights. He was nowhere mentioned as a brother of my chacha or as son of my grandmother. Two affidavits by the two sisters were made at Delhi and they mentioned that all movable property of my grandmother should be transferred to my chacha. Similarly other two sisters made two different affidavits at Saharanpur where they mentioned that all movable property of my grandmother should be transferred to my chacha.
My Chacha has transferred all movable property belonging to my grandmother in his name & mostly he has disposed off the property by using them. Movable property included a Savings A/c, F.D.R, a locker which had my grandmother’s entire lifetime “Stridhan” worth several lakhs too.
The issue is my parents & my family stays at Thane (Mumbai).
My Chacha is liable for Criminal Misappropriation, Breach of Trust & even Cheating. But I am a little confused for Jurisdiction.
I want the experts help and suggestions to file a criminal matter at Thane Court as it will be very difficult for us to travel on each date to Ambala court.
If I consider the locker contents were receivable by my parents at Thane, then probably it shows some jurisdiction but I still require concrete suggestions to prove Thane Court has jurisdiction for atleast breach of trust or under Section 181(4) of Crpc for place where goods entrusted or misappropriated are to be returned.
Thankyou
