What is the jurisdiction of crime committed abroad but victim in India
23-Mar-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Under which jurisdiction shall a suit lie if the crime is committed outside the territory of India; abroad, by a foreign national, but the aggrieved party belongs to India?
It depends on the nature of the offence whether it is a criminal offence or a civil one. However, in both the cases, it will be tried in the court of law in Indian Territory as IPC is applicable to offences committed outside of the India.
