<h1>Section 207 Empowers Magistrates to Issue Summons or Warrants for Offenses Committed Beyond Local Jurisdiction</h1> Section 207 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, empowers a Magistrate of the first class to issue summons or warrants for offenses committed beyond their local jurisdiction. If a person within the Magistrate's jurisdiction has committed an offense outside it, which cannot be tried locally but is triable in India, the Magistrate may inquire into the offense and compel the person to appear before them. The accused may be sent to the appropriate Magistrate or granted bail if the offense is not punishable by death or life imprisonment. If jurisdictional clarity is lacking, the High Court will provide orders.
