CrPC Section 101 — Disposal of things found in search beyond jurisdiction

Summary

When a search warrant is carried out outside the issuing court’s local jurisdiction and the things sought are found, those things and the list prepared under the provisions referred to in the text must be taken immediately before the court that issued the warrant. If the place searched is nearer to the Magistrate with jurisdiction there, they must instead be taken immediately before that Magistrate, who must, unless there is good cause otherwise, order that they be taken to the issuing court.

Official Text

When, in the execution of a search-warrant at any place beyond the local jurisdiction of the Court which issued the same, any of the things for which search is made, are found, such things, together with the list of the same prepared under the provisions hereinafter contained, shall be immediately taken before the Court issuing the warrant, unless such place is nearer to the Magistrate having jurisdiction therein than to such Court, in which case the list and things shall be immediately taken before such Magistrate; and, unless there be good cause to the contrary, such Magistrate shall make an order authorising them to be taken to such Court.
