The Supreme Court further clarified the constitutional safeguards applicable when an accused is released because of an illegal arrest or detention. In its decision concerning violation of Articles 22(1) and 22(2), the Court held that written grounds of arrest must ordinarily be furnished to the arrested person in a language that they understand. Failure to comply makes the arrest unconstitutional and subsequent proceedings cannot automatically cure the defect. The Court also reaffirmed the mandatory requirement of producing an arrested person before the nearest Magistrate within 24 hours. Where an accused has been released because either safeguard was violated, the investigating agency cannot independently decide to re-arrest the person. It must furnish the grounds of arrest, approach the Magistrate with reasons and necessity for custody, explain the earlier constitutional violation and obtain the endorsement of the immediate superior officer. Re-arrest requires judicial approval. The Court additionally indicated that departmental proceedings may be initiated against officers responsible for constitutional violations and that compensation may be available in appropriate cases involving unlawful detention. The ruling reinforces Articles 21 and 22 and judicial oversight over police powers.
