💨 Abstract

The Bombay High Court will soon decide if the grounds of arrest need to be communicated in writing to an accused person and if a prior notice is required before an arrest is made. There is confusion on these procedural points, leading to accused in heinous crimes securing bail due to lack of clarity. The court observed that victims and society also suffer in such cases, and clear guidelines are needed for all magistrates and investigating agencies.
