Section 79Procedural
Where warrant may be executed
Full Text
79. Where warrant may be executed.—A warrant of arrest may be executed at any place in India.
Plain English Summary
Confirms the pan-India jurisdiction of arrest warrants, allowing them to be executed in any state or union territory regardless of where they were issued.
Key Legal Elements
- National jurisdiction for warrants
- Validity across all States and Union Territories
- Legal basis for out-of-jurisdiction arrests
Practical Note
While a warrant is valid across India, the actual procedure for out-of-station arrests involves the local police of that jurisdiction (Sections 80-81). This section provides the legal authority for such cross-border enforcement.
