Explanation
Police should produce the arrested person before a court of law within B: Twenty Four Hours.
Explanation:
When a person is arrested by the police, it is the duty of the police to produce the arrested person before a magistrate or a court of law within 24 hours of the arrest. This is a fundamental right guaranteed to every arrested person under Article 22(2) of the Constitution of India.
The purpose of producing the arrested person before the court within 24 hours is to ensure that the person is not subjected to unnecessary detention or harassment by the police. The court will then examine the grounds of arrest and determine whether the detention is legal or not.
In case the court finds that the arrest was not justified or the detention is illegal, the court can order the release of the arrested person. If the arrest and detention are found to be legal, the court may remand the person to police custody or judicial custody depending on the circumstances of the case.
Therefore, it is important that the police produce the arrested person before a court of law within 24 hours to safeguard the rights of the arrested person and prevent any unlawful detention or harassment by the police.
