State of U.P.,\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/4ckVuUpm\">(2019) 5 SCC 384<\/a>, wherein it was held that\u00a0<em>even in cases where there is no allegation of harassment or demand of dowry at the parental place of the complainant who comes to take refuge at her parental place, she can lodge an FIR in the said Police Station, which can be investigated by the officer of the said Police Station and the Trial Court having jurisdiction on the said Police Station would have jurisdiction to try the said offence.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Moreover, the case of the complainant in the FIR itself was that her costly items, jewellery, etc., were taken on the ground that they were to be kept in a locker in Delhi so that it could be safe, thus the jewellery and costly items were retained in Delhi. Marriage being performed at Delhi, the entrustment of articles also took place at Delhi. Hence in view of Section 181(4) CrPC, the Court at Delhi would have jurisdiction\u00a0to try the offence. Thus, this Court finds no merit in the first argument raised.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><strong>(ii) Limitation<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On facts, it was held that the complaint was filed within the period of limitation. It was also observed that\u00a0<em>it is trite law that while taking cognizance even if there is delay in matrimonial matters the Court has to see whether it is in the interest of justice to condone the delay in taking the cognizance.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><strong>(iii) Nature of allegations<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was noted that the complainant has alleged that the accused person used to taunt her for the kind of clothes given to them at the function and at the wedding and that the same was not as per their demand and status. Allegations were also made regarding entrustment if costly items including jewellery. The Court was of the view that prima facie, the allegations constituting offence punishable under Sections 498-A and 406 IPC were made out.[Ankur Narang v.
