Place of trial where act is an offence by reason of relation to other offence.
What this section does
When an act constitutes an offence by reason of its relation to another act that is also an offence (or would be an offence if the doer were capable of committing one), the first offence may be inquired into or tried by a Court within whose local jurisdiction either act was done. This provision addresses connected or linked offences that may occur in different jurisdictions.

Why this matters
BNSS Section 200 forms part of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita which replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure 1973 on 1 July 2024. Any new filing, FIR, charge sheet, or bail application made on or after that date should cite the new section number. References to the old act in legacy documents remain valid for matters that arose before the changeover.
