With regard to the place of inquiry or trial, which of the following statements is false:

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

The false statement is "Where it consists of several acts done in different local areas, it may be inquired into or tried by a Court having jurisdiction over the local area in which first of such acts was committed", because under Section 198(d) BNSS (formerly section 178(d) CrPC) such an offence may be tried by a court having jurisdiction over any of those local areas. Section 198 does allow trial in any of the local areas concerned where the place is uncertain, where the offence is committed partly in one area and partly in another, and where a continuing offence continues in more than one area.
