CrPC 78 — Warrant forwarded for execution outside jurisdiction

Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973

Statutory text

(1) When a warrant is to be executed outside the
local jurisdiction of the Court issuing it, such Court may, instead of directing the  warrant to a police officer within
its jurisdiction, forward it by post or otherwise to any Executive Magistrate or District Superintendent of Police or
Commissioner  of  Police  within  the  local  limits  of  whose  jurisdiction  it  is  to  be  executed;  and  the  Executive
Magistrate or District Superintendent or Commissioner shall endorse his name thereon, and if practicable, cause it to be executed in the manner hereinbefore provided.
 (2) The  Court  issuing  a  warrant  under  sub-section (1) shall  forward,  along  with  the  warrant,  the  substance  of
the information against the person to be arrested together with such documents, if any, as may be sufficient to enable the Court acting under section 81 to decide whether bail should or should not be granted to the person.
