1.

The Political Agent u/s 188 of the Criminal Procedure Code certified that the offence which the accused was alleged to have committed out of

British India was one which ought to be inquired into in British India. He did not, as the Sessions Judge assumes, sanction a prosecution for an

offence under certain specified sections of the Penal Code.

2.The charge upon which the accused has been committed is in connection with the offence which the accused is alleged to have committed out of

India in respect of the prosecution of which the Political Agent granted his certificate. The order of commitment is good not with standing it is an

order of commitment on a charge which is not specified in the certificate.

We, therefore, decline to interfere.
