💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court is considering the need to strike a balance between state authorities not misusing their powers and accused individuals not taking advantage of court observations to evade punishment. The court is questioning whether grounds of arrest must be provided before or immediately after arrest in all cases, including those under the Indian Penal Code. The court has previously stated that failure to provide grounds of arrest would violate the accused's fundamental rights under Article 22 of the Constitution.
