Place of trial where act is an offence by reason of relation to other offence
AI Assist
Summary
If one act is an offence because it is connected to another act that is itself an offence (or would be if the person could commit it), the trial for the first act can be held by any court whose local area includes the place where either act was done. This lets the prosecution or court choose venue from the places of either act.
Example
Ravi picks the lock of an apartment in Town A so his friend can steal goods in Town B. The lock-picking is an offence because it is linked to the theft. Under this rule, Ravi can be tried for the lock-picking in a court in either Town A or Town B.
Bare Act
Enacted textWhen an act is an offence by reason of its relation to any other act which is also an offence or which would be an offence if the doer were capable of committing an offence, the first-mentioned offence may be inquired into or tried by a Court within whose local jurisdiction either act was done.
