P&H; Subsequent remand order does not cure an arrest that was illegal at its inception
High Court has ordered the release of a detenue after holding that his arrest was illegal from the very beginning for violation of constitutional and statutory safeguards. The Court said the arrest did not satisfy the requirements of Article 22(1) of the Constitution and Section 35 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita.
The petition was filed seeking habeas corpus relief for person who was arrested. The petitioner alleged that his son was illegally detained, that the arrest was shown in a police station even though he was taken from home, and that the authorities acted without following the mandatory legal procedure.
