https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=200849 Section 160 CrPC confines a police officer's power to require attendance to a person within the officer's own station limits or adjoining limits, and only if that person appears acquainted with the facts of the case. A notice directing a person residing and working outside those territorial limits to appear at the police office is therefore not sustainable. The officer may still question the person and record a statement by approaching them, but cannot compel attendance beyond the statutory territorial scope. The impugned notice was liable to be quashed, while the investigation itself remained unaffected. en-us Tue, 21 Dec 2010 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 17:07:26 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=200849 Section 160 CrPC confines a police officer's power to require attendance to a person within the officer's own station limits or adjoining limits, and only if that person appears acquainted with the facts of the case.
