R.S. Sodhi, J.1. This is a revision petition challenging the order dated 16.1.1999 of the Metropolitan Magistrate whereby the learned Magistrate has rejected the application of the petitioner praying for withdrawal of nonbailable warrants. The revision petition before me, besides challenging the order dated 16.1.1999, also raises question of jurisdiction. 2. It has been argued before me by learned counsel for the petitioner that the Courts below have no jurisdiction to entertain the complaint inasmuch as the cause of action which arose on the failure to make payment within fifteen days from the date of receipt of the notice, necessarily restricts the jurisdiction to the place where notice has been served and from where the amount has not been released. In support of this contention learned senior counsel has drawn my attention to the judgment of the Supreme Court in Sadanandan Bhadran v. Madhavan Sunil Kumar 1988 (6) SCC 514. Learned counsel relies upon the following observations in th...
