As per Section 177 of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 every offence that is committed in India shall be inquired and tried in the court in whose local limits the offence is committed. Therefore, in this particular situation as the FIR has been lodged in Town TA, the case can be filed by B in Town TA in whose local limits the case shall be investigated as per the FIR lodged.
