3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner
contended that no offence under Section 420 IPC will
attract against the petitioner, since Dubai Government
finally decided the matter there. Since the transaction
between petitioner and company was a pure business
transaction, the dishonor of cheque will not prima facie
make out an offence under Section 420 IPC. Petitioner

Therefore, the above Section shows that, when an offence
committed by a person outside India as described in
Section 188, he can be dealt with at any place on which
he is found. In such a situation, it does not matter
whether he will come voluntarily or in answer to summons
or under illegal arrest. This section mandates for the
compliance of procedural formalities mentioned under
Section 4 of Indian Penal Code and other penal laws which
have extraterritorial application. The object of insisting the
sanction of Central Government appears to prevent the
accused person being tried over again for the same
offence in two different places. This object is secured by
refusing to extradite the offender, if he is wanted for being
tried in a foreign country, subsequent to his trial in an
Indian court, or by refusing to sanction the prosecution
against him if he has been already tried in a foreign
Crl.M.C. No.1055 of 2010 8
country in respect of the same offence. If the person has
been convicted and sentenced to nominal punishment or
has been acquitted after a colourable trial in a foreign
court, and if he is afterwards found here in India, the
Central Government might give the sanction to prosecute
him in an Indian court for the same offence. The rule
regarding sanction for the prosecution prevents a person
from being tried twice for the commission of the same
offence and ensures that person is not able to take
advantage of a sham or colourable trial in a foreign
country in order to avoid being tried here for that offence.
The Central Government before granting sanction under
Section 188 would take into account all aspects of the
case. A Division Bench of this court in Mohamed V.
State of Kerala (1994)1 KLT 464 held that police can
investigate into a crime committed in a foreign country.
