Correct option is A
Indian Courts have the jurisdiction to try crimes committed by an Indian citizen outside India, as per the principles of extraterritorial jurisdiction under Indian law. This is based on the idea that a citizen of India remains subject to Indian laws even when they are outside the country.
Explanation:
1.
Indian Courts' Jurisdiction for Crimes Committed Abroad by Indians: Under Indian law, particularly Section 4 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), Indian citizens can be tried for crimes committed abroad. This is because certain provisions of Indian law have extraterritorial application, allowing the Indian legal system to prosecute its citizens even when they commit crimes outside the country.
2.
Jurisdiction Over Foreigners Committing Crimes in India: Conversely, Indian Courts have jurisdiction over crimes committed within the territorial limits of India regardless of the nationality of the perpetrator. Thus, Indian Courts do have jurisdiction to try crimes committed by foreigners in India. The statement in (2) is incorrect.
Additional Information:
· (1) Indian Courts have jurisdiction over crimes by Indians abroad: Correct, reflecting India's extraterritorial reach concerning its citizens.
· (2) Indian Courts do not have jurisdiction over foreigners in India: Incorrect, as Indian Courts do have jurisdiction over all crimes committed within its territory.
