Summary
In all cases, the venue of any crime is important as
well as that of the jurisdiction.
‘Venue’ is the place where the lawsuit is filed. Venue
can be any region such as a country or a district or a
town or a city.
‘Jurisdiction’ is the authority given to a legal body
for hearing a case.
When talking of jurisdiction, there are three
concepts; such as, personal jurisdiction, subject
matter jurisdiction, and territorial jurisdiction.
In criminal cases, the venue will be the locality
where the crime has been committed such as the
judicial district or town or country.
In civil cases, the venue will be the principal
defendant’s residence or the place where a contract
was carried out.
The court does not have the right to hear cases that
fall outside its jurisdiction.
