Case: The State of Andhra Pradesh v. Sri Agpa Pharmaceuticals

Coram: Justice K. Surender

Court Observation: “Section 177 of the Cr.PC lays down that every offence shall ordinarily be inquired into and tried by a court within whose local jurisdiction it was committed.

Since the medicine was not manufactured by the accused petitioners within the limits of the local jurisdiction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bikaner, it could not be tried by him as against the accused-petitioners.”
