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

Section 48

This Act has been repealed — see The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (from 2024-07-01).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.

Pursuit of offenders into other jurisdictions

The CrPC 1973 was replaced by the BNSS 2023 (in force 2024-07-01); no verified section mapping on file for Section 48 — confirm the corresponding provision (savings: Section 531, BNSS 2023).

A police officer may, for the purpose of arresting without warrant any person whom he is authorised to arrest, pursue such person into any place in India.
