Bare Acts › Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (CrPC)

Section 179

This Act has been repealed — see The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (from 2024-07-01). The prior text continues to govern matters arising before that date.

Offence triable where act is done or consequence ensues

The CrPC 1973 was replaced by the BNSS 2023 (in force 2024-07-01); no verified section mapping on file for Section 179 — confirm the corresponding provision (savings: Section 531, BNSS 2023).

When an act is an offence by reason of anything, which has been done and of a consequence, which has ensued the offence may be inquired into or tried by a Court within whose local jurisdiction such thing has been done or such consequence has ensued.
