Once the FIR gets registered then you can file all proceedings only in the court in whose jurisdiction the FIR is pending. Thus, High Court at A cannot pass any order in respect of FIR at B.

Secondly, once charge sheet stands filed, you can seek quashing u/s 482 before the HC at B only. 226 lies before filing of charge sheet.

Writ cannot be filed at place A. You should go for 482 crpc at place B high court for quashing of the case. In the above-said matter you will have to show that the said case is nothing but abuse of process of law as the allegations are false and baseless.

You will file a writ petition under section 482 of cr.p.c. Under section 482 cr.p.c, you may challenge the territorial jurisdiction. After charge sheet filling, remedy under 482 of cr.p.c. is appropriate.

You should be very much sure regarding quashing of your FIR as well as case is under section 482 CrPC Oru under article 226 and 227 constitution of India that there are merits in your FIR as well as chargesheet until there are no merits and your case the question regarding quashing of FIR as well as cases will be difficult for you so I advise you to kindly consult advocate before coming to any conclusion
