The Supreme Court laid down additional safeguards governing the re-arrest of a person whose earlier arrest violated Articles 22(1) and 22(2) of the Constitution. In Jaskaran Jeet Singh Deol v. State of Punjab, the accused had not been furnished written grounds of arrest and was also not produced before a Magistrate within the constitutionally prescribed period. The Court held that informing an arrested person of the grounds of arrest is a fundamental right and not a mere procedural formality. If an arrest is declared unconstitutional, subsequent filing of a chargesheet or taking of cognizance cannot retrospectively validate it. The Court further held that the investigating agency cannot simply re-arrest the person on its own. It must first furnish the grounds of arrest and then approach the Magistrate with reasons explaining the need for custody and the earlier failure. The application must carry the endorsement of a superior police officer and the Magistrate must provide judicial approval after considering the matter. The Court also directed departmental action where appropriate. The ruling reinforces Articles 21 and 22 and procedural safeguards concerning arrest and detention.
