In terms of Section 207 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, who amongst the following has power to initiate action against any person within their jurisdiction who is reasonably suspected to have committed an offence triable by a Court outside that jurisdiction?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

BNSS section 207 (formerly CrPC section 187) entrusts the specified inquiry and appearance process to a first-class Judicial Magistrate when the offence cannot be tried locally but is triable in India. It facilitates sending the suspect to the competent Magistrate or taking the permitted appearance security, rather than conferring the same power on a second-class Magistrate.
