Procedure adopted by SPUW&C in handling NRI Cases. PDF Print Email
Section 105 of Cr.P.C. speaks of reciprocal arrangements to be made by the Central Government with the foreign government with regard to the service of summons/warrants/judicial processes in criminal matters. The ministry of Home Affairs has entered into Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty/Agreement with 22 countries which provides for serving of documents. These countries are Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, Canada, Kazakistan, UAE, Russia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Ukraine, Mongolia, Thailand, France, Behrain, South Korea, USA, Singapore, South Africa, Mauritius, Belarus, Spain and Kuwait. In other cases the Ministry makes a request on the basis of the assurance of reciprocity to the concerned foreign Government through our Mission/Embassy. The difference between the two categories of the countries is that the country having MLAT has obligation to consider serving the documents whereas the non-MLAT countries does not have any obligation to consider such a request.
If a complaint regarding harassment or dowry demand by the husband, in-laws and his relative is received at SPUW&C from the victim living abroad or in India or any of the respondents residing abroad, the parents or any other person of the victim/respondent duly having the written authorization letter signed by the victim/respondent, can pursue the said complaint in this cell on their behalf. Jurisdiction of the crime shall be decided in accordance with the section from 177 to 189 Cr.P.C
