TEN MCQ ON ARREST : ANGLE OF JUDICIARY AND LAW: ARREST AND CUSTODY 622. Discretion to arrest in a cognizable case -- A Police Officer has discretion whether, or not, to arrest a person of his own motion, in a cognizable case and in instances where the position of the accused person and the nature of the charge against him render his arrest without warrant an unjustifiable hardship, application should be made to the Magistrate to issue a process for his appearance. (G.O. Ms. No. 1782, Judl, 30th August 1876 and paragraph 155 of Police Commission Report). (2) Police officers derive their powers of arrest without warrant from Sections 41, 42, 60, 129, 151 and 432 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and the provisions in various other Central and State enactments. Every Police officer should be thoroughly conversant with those powers. No hard and fast rule can, however, be laid down as to the exact stage at which an arrest should be effected in the course of an investigation. If the offence is bailable, the arrested person shall be released on bail immediately after arrest. (3) There is a provision in the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 seeking to protect members of the armed forces. According to section 45 no member of the armed forces of the Union shall be arrested for anything done or purported to be done by him in the discharge of his official duties except after obtaining the consent of the Central Government. (4) Section 50 Code of Criminal Procedure lays down that every Police officer or other person arresting any person without warrant shall communicate to him full particulars of the offence for which he is arrested or other grounds for such arrest. Where the police arrests without warrant, any person other than a person accused of a non-bailable offence, he 827 shall inform the person arrested that he is entitled to be released on bail and that he may arrange for sureties on his behalf. (5) Section 53 Cr.P.C. provides for examination of an arrested person by a registered medical practitioner under certain circumstances. The Police officers should take action accordingly when the circumstances warrant such an examination. (6) Discretion to arrest in cognizable cases: (a) Section 41 of the Code of Criminal Procedure confers very wide powers on the police in order that they may act swiftly for the prevention or detection of cognizable offences without the formality and delay of having to go to a Magistrate for an order of arrest. These powers are discretionary and must not be used in simple bailable offences, unless there is reasonable apprehension that the accused may abscond. When there is 'reasonable suspicion' or 'credible information' of the commission of a serious offence or such an offence is about to be committed, arrest may be made. In instances where the position of the accused person and the nature of the charge against him render his arrest without warrant an unjustifiable hardship, application should be made to the magistrate to issue a process for his appearance. (b) Arrest should not be made on the mere statement of complainants unless the investigating Officer is satisfied of the truth and reliability of the complaint. (7) Direction to subordinate to arrest: (a) When a Police officer in charge of a Police Station, or any Police officer making an investigation, is himself not able to effect the arrest of a person, he may, under section 55 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, depute any officer subordinate to him to arrest the person. When such a subordinate is deputed, the subordinate should be given an order in writing specifying the person to be arrested and the offence or other cause for which the arrest is to be made. The subordinate officer so required shall, before making the arrest, notify to the person to be arrested the substance of the order and, if so required by such person, shall show him the order. This section, however, does not take away the statutory power vested in all Police officers by Section 41 of the Code of Criminal procedure. (8) Re-arrest of a person arrested by the Village Headman: (a) When a person is arrested by the Village Headman and is forwarded to an officer in charge of the Police Station such officer is not authorized to arrest the person in question if the offence alleged does not fall within Section 41 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, and subject to the provisions of Section 42 of the Code, he must release him forthwith. In all probability, however, a Village Headman will rarely make an arrest, unless the offence imputed is not only of a cognizable, but also of a serious nature, and in that case the conditions of Section 43 of the Code being fulfilled, a fresh arrest must be made by the 828 officer in charge of the Police Station on the analogy of the procedure prescribed in that section. (9) Re-arrest of a person arrested by private individuals: (i) Section 43 of the Code of Criminal Procedure provides that a private person also can arrest: (a) an offender who has committed a non-bailable and cognizable offence in his view or (b) any proclaimed offender. He should then, without unnecessary delay, make over the person so arrested to a Police officer or, in the absence of a Police officer, take such person or cause him to be taken in custody to the nearest Police Station. (ii) When the arrested person is brought before a Police officer, the Police officer shall re-arrest him if he has reason to believe that such person comes under the provisions of Section 41 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. (iii) If there is reason to believe that the person produced has committed a noncognizable offence and if he refused, on demand by a Police officer, to give his name and residence or gives name and residence which the Police officer has reason to believe to be false, the person produced shall be dealt with under Section 42 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. (iv) If there is no sufficient reason to believe that the person has committed any offence, he shall be released forthwith. (10) Hints for the guidance of a police officer making an arrest: (a) When a Police officer proceeds to arrest a person and cannot identify him personally, he should secure the services of a person who knows the person to be arrested and should also provide himself, if available, with a photograph, a descriptive roll and the marks of identification of that person, as far as possible. (b) The Police officer should be in uniform or, if in plain clothes, disclose his identify. He should arm himself with a revolver or other means of defence. (c) Police parties engaged in anti-dacoity operations or similar duties likely to lead to arrests should carry handcuffs and leading chains to secure prisoners. (d) The person to be arrested should be informed of the authority for making the arrest. (e) The arrest should be effected without unnecessary violence or publicity. (f) (i) According to Section 46 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the Police officer making the arrest of a person shall do so by actually touching or confining the body of the person to be arrested, unless there be a submission to the custody by word or action. 829 (ii) If the person to be arrested forcibly resists the endeavour to arrest him or attempts to evade the arrest, the Police officer may use all means necessary to effect the arrest, but not cause death, if he is not accused of an offence punishable with death or with imprisonment for life (Section 46 of the Code of Criminal Procedure). (iii) If the Police officer has reason to believe that the person to be arrested has entered into or is within any place, any person residing in, or being in charge of, such place shall, on demand by such Police officer, allow him free ingress and afford all reasonable facilities for a search (Section 47 of the Code of Criminal Procedure). (iv) If ingress to such place cannot otherwise be obtained, the Police officer may break open any outer or inner door or window of such a place and enter such place and search therein and make arrest, but before entering an apartment in the actual occupancy of a woman (not being the person to be arrested) not appearing in public, he shall give notice and afford every reasonable facility for her to withdraw (Section 47 of the Code of Criminal Procedure). (v) A Police officer making arrest may break open doors or windows of any house or place to liberate himself or any other person authorized to make arrest, who is detained therein (Section 47 of the Code of Criminal Procedure). (vi) The person arrested shall not be subjected to more restraint than is necessary to prevent his escape (Section 49 of the Code of Criminal Procedure). (vii) The following requirements are to be followed in all cases of arrest or detention: (a) The Police personnel carrying out the arrest and handling the interrogation of the arrestee should bear accurate, visible and clear identification and name tags with their designations. The particulars of all such police personnel who handle interrogation of the arrestee must be recorded in a register. (b) The Police officer carrying out the arrest of the arrestee shall prepare a memo of arrest at the time of arrest and such memo shall be attested by at least one witness, who may either be a member of the family of the arrestee or a respectable person of the locality from where the arrest is made. It shall also be countersigned by the arrestee and shall contain the time and date of arrest. (c) A person who has been arrested or detained and is being held in custody in a police station or other lock-up, shall be entitled to have one friend or relative or other person known to him or having interest in his welfare being informed, as soon as practicable, that he has been arrested and is being detained at the particular place, unless the attesting witness of the memo of arrest is himself such a friend or a relative of the arrestee. (d) The time, place of arrest and venue of custody of an arrestee must be notified by the police where the next friend or relative of the arrestee lives outside the district or town through the Legal Aid Organization in the District and the police station of the area concerned telegraphically within a period of 8 to 12 hours after the arrest. 830 (e) The person arrested must be made aware of his right to have someone informed of his arrest or detention as soon as he is put under arrest or is detained. (f) An entry must be made in the diary at the place of detention regarding the arrest of the person which shall also disclose the name of the next friend of the person, who has been informed of the arrest and the names and particulars of the police officials in whose custody the arrestee is. (g) The arrestee should, where he so requests, be also examined at the time of his arrest and major and minor injuries, if any present on his/her body, must be recorded at that time. The "Inspection Memo" must be signed both by the arrestee and the Police officer effecting the arrest and its copy provided to the arrestee. (h) The arrestee should be subjected to medical examination by a trained doctor every 48 hours during his detention in custody by a doctor on the panel of approved doctors appointed by Director, Health Services of the State or Union Territory concerned. (i) Copies of all the documents including the memo of arrest, referred to above, should be sent to the Magistrate for his record. (j) The arrestee may be permitted to meet his lawyer during interrogation, though not throughout the interrogation. (k)*There should be no occasion to touch a woman where arrest of a woman is unavoidable. No woman should be arrested between sunset and sunrise excepting under very extraordinary circumstances. Information in such cases should be promptly communicated to superior officer immediately. Such arrest of woman should be effected only by an officer of and above the rank of a Sub-Inspector of Police. (*Circular Memorandum Rc.No.215634/HR Cell/2006 Dated: 19.01.2007 & relevant provisions of Cr.P.C.) 11) (1) The Code of Criminal Procedure (Amendment) Act 2008 (Act 5/2009) has incorporated an amendment in section 41 relating to powers of arrest without warrant. Earlier the Cr.PC authorized arrest of any person concerned in a cognizable offence. The 2008 amendment has brought in substantial changes in powers of arrest without warrant. Arrest in offences with imprisonment for seven years or less: (2) Under section 41(1)(b), Police Officers may now arrest without warrant, in cases involving punishment with imprisonment for seven years or less, only under the following circumstances:- i) A reasonable complaint must have been made, or credible information must have been received or a reasonable suspicion must exist that the person has committed a cognizable offence. 831 ii) The Police Officer must have reason to believe on the basis of such complaint or information or suspicion that the person has committed the offence. iii) The Police Officer must be satisfied that such arrest of a person is necessary for any of the following reasons: - a) To prevent him from committing any further offence; or b) For proper investigation of the offence; or c) To prevent him from causing the evidence to disappear or tampering with such evidence; or d) To prevent him from making any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing the facts to the court or to the Police; e) His presence in the court whenever required cannot be ensured unless he is arrested. (3) This section further requires the Police Officer shall record his reasons in writing while making the arrest. (4) Many offences fall within this category of offences punishable with imprisonment for seven years or less, for example, sections 324, 325, 332, 379, 380, 406, 411, 420, 435, 468, 489-C, 498-A, 506 (ii). These are only some illustrative examples. These and many other sections of IPC and other laws will fall wi thin the ambit of the instructions mentioned above. (5) Further, in all cases where the arrest of a person is not required under this sub section [41(1)(b)], the Police Officer shall record the reasons for not making the arrest. (6) In the light of this amendment, the following instructions may be followed while making arrests in a cognizable offence, punishable with imprisonment for seven years or less:- i) There must be a reasonable complaint, credible information or grounds for reasonable suspicion to indicate that the person has committed the offence. The complaint/information/suspicion must be credible or reasonable. This would mean application of mind to assess the credibility of the complaint or information or suspicion that the person has committed the offence. It would be advisable to record that the arrest is based on reasonable complaint or credible information or reasonable suspicion. ii) Reasons for making the arrest under categories 41 (1) (b)(ii) ‗a‘ to ‗e‘ must exist and this reason should be recorded in the case diary. 832 iii) It may be noted that while the arrest not completely prohibited in these cases, the reason for making the arrest should be duly recorded. iv) If a person is not arrested in a case involving punishment of imprisonment for seven years or less, the reason for not making the arrest must be recorded. v) It may be noted that any omission in this regard may be viewed adversely by the court. vi) Further, it may also be noted that u/s 41A, in a case where the arrest is not required u/s 41(1), the Police Officer may issue notice directing the accused to appear before him or at such a place as may be specified in the notice. vii) Other provisions relating to arrest contained in sections 41B, 41C, 41D, 46 must also be noted and kept in mind in effecting any arrest. Arrest in offences with more than seven years imprisonment- (7) Even in cases where an offence is punishable with imprisonment for more than seven years or with death sentence, arrest may be made only when credible information has been received and the Police Officer has reason to believe on the basis of that information that the person has committed the offence

BAIL : TEN MCQ: Bail- (1) Bail broadly means surety/ security for release of a person who is arrested. A person is released on bail with or without sureties. Offences are of two types as far as bail is concerned, bailable and non-bailable. When a person is arrested for a bailable offence, he is entitled to be released on bail either by the SHO or by court. In cases of arrests for non-bailable offences, bail is discretion. (2)Bail in Bailable offences: The SHO is competent to release a person on bail when arrested for bailable offences. If the arresting police officer is not the SHO, the arrestee shall be produced before the SHO with a written report for release on bail. If the accused jumps bail in a bailable offence and when he is arrested again, it should be treated as a non-bailable offence. In case bail is given by SHO in bailable offence, the bond should be taken in the Form. The detailed addresses of the sureties have to be noted there in. (3) Bail in non-bailable cases:-- (a) Police officers are empowered to grant bail under Sub-Section (2) of Section 42 and under Sections 169, 170, 436 and 437 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. (b) Attention is drawn to the provisions of Section 437 Criminal Procedure Code. Persons accused of non-bailable offences should be enlarged on bail by the Station-House Officer, if they come within the scope of the section. (c) When there is likelihood of absconding, possibility of tampering with evidence, intimidation and threat to witnesses, likelihood of repeating the offence, nature of the offender and the seriousness of the offence, likelihood of breach of peace and tranquillity in the locality, likelihood of retaliations by the victims' party, bail can be opposed in nonbailable offences. [As per relevant provisions of Cr.P.C.] 867 655. Station-House Officer alone can grant bail:-- (1) The Station-House Officer alone is empowered to grant bail under Sections 436 and 437 of the Criminal Procedure Code, but an Investigating Officer may send a person to him with a recommendation to be released on bail. A Station-House Officer or the Investigating Officer is empowered to release an accused person under section 169 Criminal Procedure Code. When, on investigation, there is no sufficient evidence or reasonable suspicion to justify the forwarding of the accused to a Magistrate, the Station House Officer or the Investigating Officer should release him on bail, if he is in custody. (2) Anticipatory Bails Section 438 Cr.PC provides for grant of anticipatory bail. When any person has reason to believe that he may be arrested on an accusation of having committed a nonbailable offence, he may apply to the High Court or the Court of Sessions for a direction under this section, and the court may, if it thinks fit, direct that in the event of such arrest, he shall be released on bail subject to certain conditions. [As per relevant provisions of Cr.P.C.] (3) Dismissal of Anticipatory Bail Petitions – Arrest of accused – Instructions: As per proviso to section 438 Cr.P.C., if the High Court or the Court of Sessions, as the case may be, has not passed any interim order under sub section (1) of section 438 Cr.P.C., or has rejected the application for grant of anticipatory bail, it shall be open to an officer-in-charge of a Police Station to arrest, without warrant, the applicant/accused on the basis of the accusation apprehended in such application. In ―M.C.Abraham Vs State of Maharashtra‖ reported in (2003) 2 SCC 649, the Supreme Court has inter-alia, held that mere rejection of anticipatory bail application of a person is no ground for arresting such person and a person whose petition for grant of anticipatory bail has been rejected, may or may not be arrested by the Investigating Officer depending upon the facts and circumstances of the case, nature of offence, the background of the accused, the facts disclosed in the course of investigation and other relevant considerations. In view of the above, if the High Court or the Court of Sessions has not passed any interim order or rejected the application for grant of anticipatory bail, the Investigating Officer/Station House Officer shall take necessary action to arrest the accused if it warrants, on the basis of accusation apprehended in the application. While making such arrest, the officer concerned shall take into account the facts and circumstances of the case, nature of offence and the facts disclosed in the course of investigation and other relevant issues. -DGP‘s Circular Memorandum No.118569/Crime 4 (3)/2016, dated: 08.08.2016 868 656. Bailable warrants—Production for remand -- (1) In bailable cases, bail is a right and not a favour, detention in the lock-up is the alternative, not the original order. The bail demand should never be excessive but should be fixed with reference to the social status of the prisoner and the character of the offence. (2) A person arrested under a bailable warrant should not be compelled to come to the Police Station to give bail. The officer executing the warrant should take the necessary bail bond form with him and take bail, where offered and release the warrantee. 657. Sunday not excluded under Section 57 Criminal Procedure Code: Sundays are not excluded from the time-limit allowed under Section 57 of the Criminal Procedure Code for the production of prisoners before a Magistrate.

TEN MCQ ON FINAL REPORT : POLICE VIEW POINT : Final Reports:-- The final report (Form No. 89) is the report prescribed by Section 173 of the Criminal Procedure Code to be sent to the Magistrate having jurisdiction. This form will be used both, for referring cases as false and reporting them as undetectable. (2) If, after the completion of an investigation, the Investigating Officer considers that in spite of all steps taken, there is no prospect of obtaining any further clue and that nothing more can be done in the case, he will submit a final report treating the case as undetectable. But, in instances where cases have to be referred as mistake of fact, mistake of law, civil in nature or false, the final report should be submitted forthwith. (3) In a cases where accused person or persons dies/die before the completion of investigation and no person or persons can be charged, a final report should be sent in Form No.89. (4) In a case referred by Magistrates under Section 202, Code of Criminal Procedure for investigation, the final report shall be sent to the Magistrate. (5) Charge Sheets: (i) If, upon the completion of an investigation, it appears to the Officer-in-charge of a Police Station that there is sufficient evidence to warrant the filing of charge sheet against the accused, he will submit to the Magistrate empowered to take cognizance of the offence, a 869 charge sheet in Form No.65 setting forth therein the names of the parties with their full addresses and of the persons, who appear to be acquainted with the circumstances of the case, stating whether the accused (if arrested) has been forwarded in custody or has been released on bond, and, if so, whether with or without sureties. The names of such of the accused as are absconding should be entered in red ink in the appropriate column of the charge sheet. Care should be taken to see that all the columns in the charge sheet in Form No.65 are filled in properly. No column should be left blank. The officer-in-charge of the Police Station shall also communicate in Form No.90 (notice to the complainant) the action taken by him to the person, if any, by whom the information relating to the commission of the offence was first given. Once the investigation is completed and a prima facie case is made out, there should be no delay in the submission of the charge sheet. (ii) The charge should be brief but at the same time clear. The date, time and place of offence should invariably be mentioned in the charge. In simple cases, the charge sheets shall be prepared by Sub-Inspectors in consultation with the Inspector, where necessary. In cases involving complicated points of law, the charge sheets should be prepared in consultation with the Assistant Public Prosecutor, and also the Public Prosecutor, where necessary. In important and complicated cases, it is advisable to consult the Assistant Public Prosecutor or Public Prosecutor, if necessary, even at the stage of investigation, in order to enable the Investigating Officer to conduct the investigation on proper lines and to collect the type of evidence required by law to bring home the guilt to the accused. (iii) In every case in which an accused person previously convicted of an offence punishable under Chapter XII or Chapter XVII of the Indian Penal Code with imprisonment of either description for a term of three years or upwards, is prosecuted for an offence punishable under either of the two chapters, with like imprisonment, Section 75 of the Indian Penal Code should be added in the charge-sheet. (iv) While all documents or relevant extracts thereof on which the prosecution proposes to rely, other than those already sent to the Magistrate during investigation and the statements recorded under section 161 Cr.P.C. of all the persons whom the prosecution proposes to examine as its witness, should be forwarded to the Magistrate along with the report under Section 173 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the investigating officer may furnish to the accused, copies of all or any of these documents if he finds it convenient to do so. (v) If the Police officer is of the opinion that any part of the statements recorded under Sub-Section (3) of Section 161 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is not relevant to the subject matter of the inquiry or trial or that its disclosure to the accused is not essential in the interest of justice and is in expedient in the public interests, he shall exclude such part from the copy of the statements furnished to the accused, and in such a case, he shall make a report to the Magistrate stating his reason for excluding such part. 870 (vi) Where an accused person against whom a charge sheet is being filed is absconding, the officer-in-charge of the Police Station shall append a note on the charge sheet itself requesting the Magistrate to issue a non-bailable warrant for the apprehension of the accused. If the warrant cannot be executed within a reasonable time, the Station House Officer or the Investigating Officer shall move the court for instituting proceedings under Sections 82 and 83 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. if it is proved that there is no immediate prospect of arresting the accused even after action has been taken under section 82 and 83 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the court may, in the absence of the accused, examine the witnesses produced on behalf of the prosecution and record their depositions under Section 299 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. If, at any future time, the accused person is apprehended or appears before the court, the case against him shall be revived and dealt with according to law. Any such deposition recorded in the absence of the accused may, on the arrest of such person, be given in evidence against him in the inquiry into or trial of the offence with which he is charged, if the deponent is dead or incapable of giving evidence or his attendance cannot be procured without an amount of delay, expense or inconvenience, which, under the circumstances of the case, would be unreasonable. (vii) Where there are several accused persons in a case and only some of them have appeared or have been produced before the court and the presence of the other accused cannot be secured within a reasonable time, steps should be taken to move the Magistrate to proceed with the case against such of the accused as have appeared and dispose it off, according to law, reserving the right of the State to proceed against the other accused, when their presence is secured. (viii) Proclamation orders under Section 82 of the Code of Criminal Procedure can be issued against any person for whose arrest the Magistrate has issued a warrant. The Investigating Officer has only to convince the court that the warrantee is evading arrest and has gone into hiding and that the warrant could not be executed. Hence, the initiative has to be taken by the Investigating Officer. Once the proclamation orders are issued they should be immediately promulgated. Orders of attachment under Section 82 of the Code of Criminal Procedure can also be issued simultaneously along with the proclamation orders. The period of 30 days mentioned in Section 82 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is the time allowed to the accused to surrender. The Court issuing a proclamation under Section 82 of the Code of Criminal Procedure may at any time order the attachment of any property, moveable or immovable, both belonging to the proclaimed person. Attachment should be carried out promptly after the proclamation has been properly made and the property of the proclaimed person seized before he has time to transfer, alienate, mortgage or conceal them. (ix) It is necessary that the proclamation order issued under Section 82 of the Code of Criminal Procedure should be widely published in the manner provided for in that section. In order to facilitate the arrest of an absconding warrantee or a proclaimed offender, it is also necessary that an effective watch is maintained over his harbourers, persons who wilfully or 871 knowingly harbour such offenders could be prosecuted under Section 216 of the Indian Penal Code. It is, therefore, necessary that widest publicity is given to the proclamation order, issued under Section 82 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, so that its knowledge can be conclusively proved against the harboured for his successful prosecution under Section 216 of the Indian Penal Code. (x) The Station House Officer should not be satisfied or rest content that the formalities under Sections 82 and 83 of the Code of Criminal Procedure have been gone through. As long as the proclaimed offender‘s name is on the list of proclaimed offenders of his station, he and his station staff are responsible for finding out where he is and who is harbouring him. If the proclaimed offender is learnt to be in the jurisdiction of another station, he should forthwith inform the Station House Officer of the other station to arrest him. Preferably, he can proceed himself or in unavoidable circumstances send his subordinates immediately to arrest the wanted person with the help of the other station staff.
