Legal Provisions of Section 180 of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (Cr.P.C.), India.
Place of trial where act is an offence by reason of relation to other offence:
The simplest illustration to explain the provisions of this section is an offence of abetment. A charge of abetment may be inquired into or tried either by the Court within whose local jurisdiction the abetment was committed or by the Court within whose local jurisdiction the offence abetted was committed. But if the offence abetted is not actually committed, then the charge of abetment can be tried only at the place where it has been committed.

ADVERTISEMENTS:
Likewise, a charge of receiving or retaining stolen property may be inquired into or tried either by the Court within whose jurisdiction the property was stolen or by any Court within whose local jurisdiction any of such property was at any time dishonestly received or retained.
But so far as the offence of theft (i.e., stealing property or goods) is concerned, it can be tried only at a place where the theft was actually committed and not at the place of receiving or retaining the stolen property or goods unless by virtue of special provisions contained elsewhere in the Code, it has been made possible, such as Section 181 (3) in case of theft.
