Section 202 in The Code Of Criminal Procedure, 1973

(1) Any Magistrate, on receipt of a complaint of an offence of which he is authorised to take cognizance or which has been made over to him under section 192, may, if he thinks fit, [ and shall, in a case where the accused is residing at a place beyond the area in which he exercises his jurisdiction] postpone the issue of process against the accused, and either inquire into the case himself or direct an investigation to be made by a police officer or by such other person as he thinks fit, for the purpose of deciding whether or not there is sufficient ground for proceeding: Provided that no such direction for investigation shall be made,--


Whether the words   "and either inquire into the case himself or direct an investigation to be made by a police officer"  do not empower him to make inquiry by himself and issue summons to accused beyond territorial jurisdiction
