When an offence is said to have committed by a person of one jurisdiction in another jurisdiction or outside India and the same cannot be tried or inquired under provisions 177 to 185 of this Chapter or any other law that is in force but allows such case triable in India then the concerned Magistrate, who has such information, may inquire into the offence as if it had been committed within its jurisdiction by summoning the person or committing him to other Magistrate who has jurisdiction to try such offence , or if such offence is punishable with death or imprisonment for life and such person is willing to furnish bail to the satisfaction of the inquiring Magistrate then the Magistrate take such bond and order him to appear before the concerned Magistrate.

When there are more Magistrates than one having jurisdiction and no Magistrate falls under this Section satisfy himself as to the Magistrate to or before whom such person should be sent or bound to appear the case shall be reported to the orders of the High Court.
