Explanation:

This section of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) grants police officers the authority to pursue and arrest a suspect without a warrant, even if the suspect enters a private property, as long as the officer has the lawful authority to arrest that person.

Illustration:

Imagine a scenario where a police officer witnesses a person committing a theft. The officer has the right to arrest the thief without a warrant. If the thief runs into a building to escape, the officer can follow them inside and make the arrest.

Common Questions and Answers: on Pursuit Of Offenders Into Other Jurisdictions

Q: Can the police officer enter a private residence without a warrant?

A: The officer’s pursuit must be reasonable and proportionate to the circumstances. Excessive force or unnecessary intrusion into private spaces may be deemed unlawful.
