83. Warrant forwarded for execution outside jurisdiction.(1) When a warrant is to be
executed outside the local limits of the jurisdiction of the Court issuing the same, such Court may,
instead of directing such warrant to a policeofficer, forward the same by post or otherwise to any
Magistrate or District Superintendent of Police 1* * *within the local limits of whose jurisdiction it
is to be executed.
(2) The Magistrate or District Superintendent 2* * to whom such warrant is so forwarded shall
endorse his name thereon and, if practicable, cause it to be executed in manner hereinbefore
provided within the local limits of his jurisdiction.
84. Warrant directed to policeofficer for execution outside jurisdiction.(1) When a
warrant directed to a policeofficer is to be executed beyond the local limits of the jurisdiction of
the Court issuing the same, he shall ordinarily take it for endorsement either to a Magistrate or to a
policeofficer not below the rank of an officer in charge of a station, within the local limits of whose
jurisdiction the warrant is to be executed.
(2) Such Magistrate or policeofficer shall endorse his name thereon and such endorsement
shall be sufficient authority to the policeofficer to whom the warrant is directed to execute the
same within such limits, and the local police shall, if so required, assist such officer in executing
such warrant.
(3) Whenever there is reason to believe that the delay occasioned by obtaining the endorsement
of the Magistrate or policeofficer within the local limits of whose jurisdiction the warrant is to be
executed, will prevent such execution, the policeofficer to whom it is directed may execute the
same without such endorsement in any place beyond the local limits of the jurisdiction of the Court
which issued it.

85. Procedure on arrest of person against to whom warrant issued. When a warrant of
arrest is executed outside the district in which it was issued, the person arrested shall, unless the
Court which issued the warrant is within twenty miles of the place of arrest or is nearer than the
Magistrate or District Superintendent of Police 1* * * within the local limits of whose jurisdiction
the arrest was made, or unless security is taken under Section 76, be taken before such Magistrate
2* * or District Superintendent.
