199. Offence triable where act is done or consequence ensues.
When an act is an offence by reason of anything which has been done and of a consequence which has ensued, the offence may be inquired into or tried by a Court within whose local jurisdiction such thing has been done or such consequence has ensued.
Under Section 199 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), when an act constitutes an offence because of something that was done and any consequence that followed, the offence may be inquired into or tried by a court having jurisdiction over either local area. In criminal trials involving substantive offences under the 199 bns framework, this procedural rule ensures that an accused can be tried either where the criminal act took place or where the resulting consequence occurred.
