Section 208 BNSS | Dowry Offences with Partial Domestic Acts Triable in India Without Sanction: Karnataka HC
Karnataka High Court rules that dowry-related offences under BNSS and Dowry Prohibition Act can be tried in India if any part-such as demand or seizure-occurs domestically, even if harassment occurred abroad. The court clarified that prior sanction under Section 208 BNSS is not required at the cognizance stage, expanding jurisdiction for victims of transnational dowry cases.
