Section 200 of BNSS : Section 200: Place of trial where act is an offence by reason of relation to other offence.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Rahul and Sameer are involved in a criminal conspiracy to commit theft. Rahul, who lives in Mumbai, plans the theft, while Sameer, who lives in Pune, executes the theft. The theft is an offence, and the conspiracy to commit theft is also an offence. According to Section 200 of The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023, the conspiracy (planned in Mumbai) and the theft (executed in Pune) are related offences. Therefore, the court in either Mumbai or Pune can have jurisdiction to try both offences.

Example 2:

Priya, residing in Delhi, forges a document and sends it to Ramesh in Bangalore, who uses the forged document to commit fraud. Forgery and fraud are both offences, and the fraud is committed by reason of the forged document. According to Section 200 of The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023, the court in either Delhi (where the forgery took place) or Bangalore (where the fraud was committed) can have jurisdiction to try both the forgery and the fraud.
