Limits and borders: On the territorial jurisdiction of the Border Security Force<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Centre must consult States before making decisions that impinge on their powers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Litigation (the process of taking an argument between people or groups to a court of law) <\/strong>concerning the territorial jurisdiction (the authority of a court or official organization to make decisions and judgment) <\/strong>of the Border Security Force (BSF) in Punjab seems to be the result of the lack of effective consultation (a meeting to discuss something or to get advice) <\/strong>between the central and State governments on the issue. Punjab has filed a suit against the Union government under Article 131 of the Constitution, challenging the decision to increase the operational jurisdiction of the BSF from 15 km to 50 km. The border State sees the Centre\u2019s move as a breach (an act of breaking a law, promise, agreement, or relationship) <\/strong>of federal principles and an encroachment <\/strong>into the law and order powers of the Punjab police. West Bengal has a similar view, and both States have got resolutions (an official decision that is made after a group or organization has voted) <\/strong>passed in their Assemblies against the expansion. In this backdrop, the Supreme Court\u2019s decision to examine the questions that arise from the expansion of the BSF\u2019s area of operations acquires (to get or obtain something) <\/strong>significance. In October 2021, the Centre had issued a notification under the provisions of the BSF Act, standardising (to make things of the same type all have the same basic features) <\/strong>the area over which the BSF would have jurisdiction to operate. In Punjab, West Bengal and Assam, the distance was raised from within 15 km from the border to 50 km, while it was reduced from 80 km to 50 km in Gujarat. For Rajasthan, it was kept unchanged at 50 km. The Union government said in a reply in the Rajya Sabha in December 2021 that the extension of the BSF\u2019s jurisdiction will help it discharge its border patrol duty more effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the Union government may have valid reasons for its move, it should not be seen as encroaching into the domain of the State governments, which have the constitutional responsibility to maintain public order and exercise police powers. The BSF mainly focuses on preventing trans-border crimes, especially unauthorised (without someone’s official permission to do something or be in a particular place) <\/strong>entry into or exit from Indian territory. It does not have the power to investigate or prosecute (to officially accuse someone of committing a crime in a law court, or (of a lawyer) to try to prove that a person accused of committing a crime is guilty of that crime) <\/strong>offenders, but has to hand over those arrested and the contraband (goods that are brought into or taken out of the country secretly and illegally) <\/strong>seized from them to the local police. In practice, BSF personnel usually work in close coordination <\/strong>with the police and there ought to be no clash of jurisdiction. It is possible to argue that the expanded jurisdiction merely authorises the BSF to conduct more searches and seizures (the action of taking something by force or with legal authority)<\/strong>, especially in cases in which the offenders (a person who is guilty of a crime) <\/strong>manage to enter deep into the country\u2019s territory. However, it goes without saying that there ought to be strong reasons for the expansion of the jurisdiction of any central force. In this regard, the most relevant questions among those framed by the Supreme Court are whether the Centre\u2019s notification (the act of telling someone officially about something, or a document, etc. that does this) <\/strong>encroaches upon the State government\u2019s domain; and what factors ought to be taken into account while determining (to control or influence something directly, or to decide what will happen) <\/strong>the \u201clocal limits of areas adjoining (with nothing in between, or touching) <\/strong>the borders of India\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
