The Arrest Is Legally Valid, Does Not Mean, It Should Be Done

The arrest is legally valid, it does not mean that it should be done: Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court has said in a case that arresting someone just because it is legally valid, does not mean that the arrest should be made.

At the same time, the top court said that personal liberty is an important aspect of the constitutional mandate.

If arrests are made regularly, it can cause immense damage to the reputation and self-esteem of a person. or disobeys the summons, he need not be produced before the court in custody.

“We believe that personal liberty is an important aspect of our constitutional mandate,” the bench said in an order earlier this week.

During the course of the investigation, there is a situation of the arrest of an accused when custodial interrogation becomes necessary.

The arrest is also necessary if it is a heinous offense or there is apprehension that witnesses may be influenced or the accused may abscond.

The remarks were made while hearing a petition filed against an order of the High Court.

The High Court had dismissed a petition seeking anticipatory bail in one of the cases. An FIR was registered in this case seven years back.

Setting aside the order of the High Court, the Supreme Court said that the petitioner had joined the investigation before approaching the court and the charge sheet in the case was also ready.

SC does not speak of custody, rather it refers to the presentation of the accused by the investigating officer before the court while filing the charge sheet.
