Supreme Court Guidelines
Guidelines laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in D.K. Basu Case to be followed while making arrest
The Hon’ble Supreme Court, in D.K. Basu Vs.State of West Bengal, has laid down specific guidelines required to be followed while making arrests.
The principles laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court are given here under :
The police personnel carrying out the arrest and handling the interrogation of the arrestee should bear accurate, visible and clear identification and name tags with their designations. The particulars of all such police personnel who handle interrogation of the arrestee must be recorded in a register.
That the police officer carrying out the arrest shall prepare a memo of arrest at the time of arrest and such memo shall be attested by at least one witness, who may be either a member of the family of the arrestee or a respectable person of the locality from where the arrest is made. It shall also be countersigned by the arrestee and shall contain the time and date of arrest.
A person who has been arrested or detained and is being held in custody in a police station or interrogation centre or lock-up, shall be entitled to have one friend or relative or other person known to him or having interest in his welfare informed, as soon as practicable, that he has been arrested and is being detained at the particular place, unless the attesting witness of the memo of arrest is himself such a friend or a relative of the arrestee.
In case the friend or relative of the arrestee lives outside the district or town, the time, place of arrest and venue of custody of an arrestee must be notified by the police through the Legal Aid Organisation in the District and the Police Station of the area concerned telegraphically within a period of 8 to 12 hours after the arrest.
