CrPC § 84 — Warrant directed to police-officer for execution outside jurisdiction

Statutory text (English)

(1) When a
warrant directed to a police-officer is to be executed beyond the local limits of the jurisdiction of
the Court issuing the same, he shall ordinarily take it for endorsement either to a Magistrate or to a
police-officer not below the rank of an officer in charge of a station, within the local limits of whose
jurisdiction the warrant is to be executed.

(2) Such Magistrate or police-officer shall endorse his name thereon and such endorsement
shall be sufficient authority to the police-officer to whom the warrant is directed to execute the
same within such limits, and the local police shall, if so required, assist such officer in executing
such warrant.

(3) Whenever there is reason to believe that the delay occasioned by obtaining the endorsement
of the Magistrate or police-officer within the local limits of whose jurisdiction the warrant is to be
executed, will prevent such execution, the police-officer to whom it is directed may execute the
same without such endorsement in any place beyond the local limits of the jurisdiction of the Court
which issued it.
