How can the police of one State exercise powers and jurisdiction in any area outside that State without the consent of the Government of the State in which such area is situated?
The police of one State cannot exercise powers and jurisdiction in any area outside that State without the consent of the Government of the State in which such area is situated. This is stated under Article 80 of the Indian Constitution, which outlines the extension of the powers and jurisdiction of members of a police force belonging to any State to any area outside that State. The provision emphasizes the need for cooperation between States when it comes to policing matters across state boundaries.
