At most, it would be a 'Zero FIR' transferable to Mumbai Police. Transfer of a case, on which they had no jurisdiction, to CBI has no legal sanctity", said the lawyer. He elaborated further, “Having realised that Bihar has no jurisdiction, this illegal method has been adopted. Otherwise, you are interfering in the federal structure of our nation in a back door manner." "It touches the very root of the federal structure on the basis of which India became a Republic by Union of States", added Rhea’s lawyer.
