Routing at Different Places Accused Cannot be Linked to All Offences
-
Jurisdiction in Continuing Offences - A continuing offence committed across multiple locations can be prosecuted at any of those places where part of the offence occurred. The court's jurisdiction is not limited to the place of the accused's residence or arrest but extends to all relevant locations where the offence took place. This principle ensures that cases involving multiple locations are properly addressed, emphasizing that jurisdiction is determined by where parts of the offence occurred Merry Bina Marak VS State of Meghalaya - Crimes.
-
Linking Accused to Offences - Merely being present at different locations or conducting searches in various compartments (e.g., trains) does not automatically establish the accused’s involvement in all offences committed across those locations. Specific evidence connecting the accused to each offence is necessary; random searches or presence alone are insufficient to link all offences to a single accused Md. Sarfraj VS State of Bihar - Crimes.
-
Multiple Offences and Accused - In cases involving multiple accused and offences, courts have emphasized that guilt must be established based on concrete evidence relating to each accused’s role. Accused cannot be presumed guilty of all offences solely based on their presence or association with others in different locations Harish Natvarlal Mistryetc. etc. VS State of Gujarat - Crimes.
-
Different Places, Different Offences - Courts have clarified that offences committed at different places cannot automatically be attributed to all accused persons collectively. Each offence must be linked to the specific accused involved, and jurisdiction must be appropriate to the location where each offence occurred Nalinikanta Muduli VS State of Orissa - Orissa.
-
Legal Principles on Jurisdiction and Accused’s Link - The overarching principle is that an accused cannot be linked to all offences committed across various locations unless there is direct evidence tying them to each specific offence. Jurisdiction is primarily determined by where the offence or part of the offence occurred, not merely where the accused was present or where searches occurred Merry Bina Marak VS State of Meghalaya - Crimes.
Analysis and Conclusion
The sources collectively highlight that jurisdiction in criminal cases involving multiple locations is determined by the place where each offence or part thereof occurred, not solely where the accused resides or is arrested. Accused persons cannot be automatically linked to all offences committed across different places without concrete evidence. This underscores the importance of location-specific evidence and the principle that each offence must be proved to have been committed by the accused at the relevant place. Therefore, routing or linking an accused to all offences across various locations without proper evidence is legally untenable.
