My queries are:
1 Since cause of action has arosen in Delhi,alleged dowry harssment by wife is also in Delhi.Whether harayana Police can arrest my cousin on the basis of her allegations?

2 Since Haryana Police has no territorial jurisdiction to arrest or Investigate the matter outside his state, whether the police can compel the accused/My cousin to appear before them? Whether its advisable to appear before the P.S of Hrayana?

3 Whether one can go directly to Punjab & Haryana High Court for quashing or Transfer the FIR as the cause of action has not been taken place in Haryana?

Raj-Wife has liberty to file case at her current address also.


2 Since Haryana Police has no territorial jurisdiction to arrest or Investigate the matter outside his state, whether the police can compel the accused/My cousin to appear before them? Whether its advisable to appear before the P.S of Hrayana?

 

Raj-It should go to CAW cell and let request letter come and then take this decesion. 


3 Whether one can go directly to Punjab & Haryana High Court for quashing or Transfer the FIR as the cause of action has not been taken place in Haryana?
