Question

What legal process have to be followed by a police officer if he arrest or detain any citizen.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Arrest with warrant

Explanation:

Arrest with Warrant

If a person commits an offense in which an arrest cannot be made without a warrant, a warrant must be issued. Without a warrant, the police officers are unable to make such an arrest. The warrant is issued, on behalf of the state, by a Judge or a Magistrate

and the D.K Basu guidelines that are:

1.)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

2.)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 counter-signed by the arrestee and shall contain the time and date of arrest.

3.)A person who has been arrested or detained and is being held in custody in a police station or interrogation centre or other lock up, shall be entitled to have one friend or relative or other person known to him or having interest in his welfare being 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.
