The petitioner, Shaikh Amjad Ahmed, filed a Criminal Writ Petition before the Bombay High Court (Aurangabad Bench) under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking compensation of Rs. 11 lakhs from the State of Telangana and its police authorities, alleging illegal detention, wrongful restraint, and non-compliance with mandatory arrest procedures under the BNSS 2023 when he was taken from Parali Vaijnath, District Beed (Maharashtra) by Hyderabad police on 06.05.2025. The petitioner contended that part of the cause of action arose within Maharashtra, giving this Court territorial jurisdiction. The State opposed the petition on the ground of territorial jurisdiction, arguing that the substantive grievance and all subsequent events—including registration of Crime No. 314/2025, investigation, and bail—occurred entirely in Telangana, and that the investigation into the alleged abduction (Crime No. 96/2025) concluded with a 'C' Summary report finding no abduction but a lawful arrest by Hyderabad police. The Court considered its earlier decision in Vishwanath Chintamani Potdar v. State of Maharashtra (Crl. W.P. No. 702/2026) and the Supreme Court's rulings in Navinchandra N. Majithia v. State of Maharashtra (2000) 7 SCC 640 and Nawal Kishore Sharma v. Union of India (2014) 9 SCC 329 on the scope of 'cause of action' under Article 226(2). The judgment text as provided ends mid-analysis while the Court was examining whether merely being taken from Maharashtra suffices to establish territorial jurisdiction.
