State jurisdiction refers to a state court's authority to make legally binding decisions over cases that arise within its territorial boundaries. D.J. Harris defined state jurisdiction as having both the power to prescribe rules (prescriptive jurisdiction) and the power to enforce them (enforcement jurisdiction). Sections 2, 3, and 4 of the Indian Penal Code establish that Indian law can try offenses committed beyond India's borders if committed by Indian citizens or on Indian-registered ships or aircraft.
