💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court ruled that police must inform the accused of the grounds for arrest immediately, as per the Constitution. Failure to do so would render the arrest and subsequent remand invalid. The court also stated that the accused has the right to consult a legal practitioner. If non-compliance with Article 22(1) is established, the arrested person must be released immediately, and bail would be granted in such cases.
