Select your police station and the nature of the case to find out which Magistrate Court, Sessions Court, or High Court has jurisdiction for your FIR and bail matters.
Where Your Case Will Be Heard
First Court (FIR / Charge Sheet / Interim Bail)-
Regular Bail (if rejected at the first stage)-
Anticipatory Bail / High Court Bail-
Trial Court-
How court jurisdiction works: The police station where the FIR is registered determines the first court that will hear your bail and trial matters. The Magistrate Court handles bailable offences and the first stage of most matters. The Sessions Court handles non-bailable offences, major property offences, and NDPS cases at the trial stage. Anticipatory bail and the High Court bail stage are always at the High Court for the relevant jurisdiction. For cyber and IT Act offences, the jurisdiction can be the place where the offence was committed or where the affected computer is located - confirm with our team which specific jurisdiction applies to your case.
This lookup provides a general jurisdiction guide only. The specific court for your matter depends on the exact provisions applied in your FIR, the value of the property involved, and any statutory jurisdictional exceptions.
