Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Ravi was accused of theft and his trial was conducted in the district court of Pune. However, it was later discovered that the crime actually took place in Mumbai, and the trial should have been conducted in the Mumbai district court. Despite this error, the court's decision to convict Ravi will not be overturned solely because the trial was held in the wrong district, unless Ravi can prove that this mistake led to a failure of justice, such as key witnesses being unable to attend due to the location.

Example 2:

Sita was charged with fraud and her case was heard in the sub-division court of Alwar. After the trial, it was found that the case should have been heard in the sub-division court of Jaipur. Sita's lawyer argued that the trial should be invalidated because it was held in the wrong place. However, the court maintained the conviction, stating that the location error did not affect the fairness of the trial or the outcome, as all evidence and witnesses were properly presented and considered.
