Section 461 of CrPC can be raised at any time during the trial - There is no strict time limit for raising jurisdictional objections under Section 461 of the CrPC. Such objections can be raised at any stage of the trial, and courts are obliged to consider them to prevent proceedings from being a nullity if jurisdiction is lacking. However, it is advisable to raise jurisdictional issues early to avoid prejudice and procedural complications. M/S WIPRO LTD., Vs MR. SASI AND ANOTHER - Kerala
Early raising of jurisdictional objections is preferable - The principles established emphasize that objections related to jurisdiction should ideally be raised at the earliest possible stage to ensure smooth proceedings and to prevent unnecessary prejudice, as demonstrated in cases where late objections caused prejudice to the accused. M/S WIPRO LTD., Vs MR. SASI AND ANOTHER - Kerala
Jurisdictional objections can be raised even in part-heard cases - Courts recognize that objections to jurisdiction are not barred at any stage, including during trial proceedings, and such objections must be considered to avoid nullity of proceedings. M/S WIPRO LTD., Vs MR. SASI AND ANOTHER - Kerala
Section 461 of CrPC and its relation to other sections - While Section 461 allows raising jurisdictional objections at any time, other procedural sections like 156(2), 190, and 326 also govern the initiation and conduct of proceedings, but none restrict the timing of jurisdictional challenges.

Analysis and Conclusion:
The consensus across the provided sources indicates that Section 461 of the CrPC permits objections to jurisdiction to be raised at any stage of the trial. While early raising is encouraged to prevent prejudice, courts are obliged to consider such objections regardless of timing, ensuring the proceedings are valid and within jurisdiction. This aligns with the principle that jurisdictional challenges are fundamental and can be invoked at any point to uphold the legality of trial proceedings.
