Hi… Mr Peer Mohammed,
Thank you very much for giving information on “Arrest without Warrant”. I think you forgot to mention the specific sections….I mean, under IPC section or CPC….? Because a small drawback in our Indian legal system is “As you said any person can be arrested by showing the above reasons, at the same time the same persons can be set free by arguing “My client was not there at the time of offence”. Just, it means “where there is will, there is a way”. I mean what I want to ask you is …. Some sections will be there. Plz post them, if possible. I am preparing for Civils exams.
Thanks,
