HC tells police: Add 6cause for arrest, column in memo
Hindustan Times|November 21, 2024
NEW DELHI: The Delhi high court has directed Delhi Police to update the arrest memo used by its officers while arresting people, adding a column to record the grounds of arrest, underscoring the significance behind this information.
Shruti Kakkar

A bench of justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma opined that providing the grounds of arrest to the person being arrested is of utmost sanctity and significance as the information serves as a fundamental basis for the arrested individual to seek legal advice, challenge remand and apply for bail.

In a 21-page order, justice Sharma opined that the update was imperative to ensure effective compliance with section 47 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), which replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure (Cr PC). It mandates police officers who arrest a person without warrants to forthwith communicate to the arrestee, the grounds of arrest and the right to bail.
