Summons U/S 160 CrPC Cannot Be Issued By Police Officer Without Registration Of FIR

Case: Kulvinder Singh Kohli V. State Of Nct Of Delhi & Ors

Coram: Justice Chandra Dhari Singh

Case No.: W.P.(CRL) 611/2022

Court Observation: “The provision says that a Police Officer making investigation may require attendance of “any person being within the limits of his own or any adjoining station”, thereby, clearly and unequivocally setting limits to the jurisdiction within which the police officer is permitted to act,”

“Both these addresses are evidently outside and beyond the territorial limits of the concerned Police Station S.A.S. Nagar. The bar of jurisdiction under Section 160 of the Cr.P.C. is indisputably applicable to the instant matter and in such a case, the notice issued can rightly be said to be issued without jurisdiction,”
