In V D Moorthy v. State of Andhra Pradesh (High Court of Andhra Pradesh, Amaravati), the petitioner, a 65-year-old director residing in Noida, received a notice under Section 179(1) BNSS to appear before police in Vijayawada, despite medical advice against travel due to Cervical Radiculopathy. The Court examined whether police can compel attendance of persons residing outside their jurisdiction. It held that Section 179(1) BNSS restricts police power to individuals residing within the limits of the issuing or adjoining police stations. Protected categories include males above 60, women, mentally or physically disabled persons, and those with acute illness. Since the petitioner resided outside jurisdiction, the notice was invalid, and the exception for willing persons under the second proviso did not apply. The Court directed that the petitioner may be examined at his residence in Noida, in the presence of his advocate (10–15 feet away), with statement recording permitted via electronic audio-video means, ensuring prior notice and compliance with procedural safeguards.
