“In view of clause(2) of Article 226, if part of the cause of action arose in the State, writ could be issued against an authority, though the seat of it is outside the territorial jurisdiction of this Court. But, the cause of action which must arise in Kerala for issuing writs of certiorari or prohibition, must relate to the commissions or omissions of an inferior court or Tribunal amenable to the writ jurisdiction of this Court and not that of a private party. This Court cannot judicially review the actions of the 1st respondent. It may file any complaint before any court. It may do it rightly or wrongly. The 1st respondent being a private party not amenable to the writ jurisdiction of this Court, we cannot judicially review its actions. But, the point to be decided is whether we can judicially review the action of the Magistrate in taking cognizance under S.190(1)(a) read with S.200 of the Cr.P.C of the offence alleged against the petitioner and issuing process under S.204. The entire cause of action, as far as the action of the learned Magistrate is concerned, arose in Coimbatore, outside the jurisdiction of this Court. So, even if the complainant has wrongly filed a complaint before the Coimbatore court, the action of taking cognizance and issuance of he process took place outside the jurisdiction of this Court. Therefore, we have no doubt in our mind that the reliefs sought in this Writ Petition cannot be granted by this Court. Even if the cause of action for the complaint under S.138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act arose in Kerala, the Kerala High Court cannot interfere with the proceedings before a criminal court, outside the jurisdiction of this Court.
