Warrant forwarded for execution outside jurisdiction.
What this section does
When a warrant is to be executed outside the issuing Court's local jurisdiction, the Court may forward it by post or otherwise to the Executive Magistrate, District Superintendent of Police, or Commissioner of Police of the area where it is to be executed, who shall endorse their name and cause it to be executed. The issuing Court must also forward the substance of the information against the person to be arrested along with documents sufficient to enable the Court acting under section 83 to decide on bail.

Why this matters
BNSS Section 80 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.
