How could you say that the Magistrate was not having jurisdiction. Such thing is not supposed to happen.

Selva Kumar (Expert) 30 March 2011
As per sec.164 (6), the magistrate recording a confession or statement shall forward it to the magistrate by whom the case is to be inquired into or tried.

I agree with Selva Kumar.
