Section 82 - Procedure on arrest of person against whom warrant issued

Warrant of arrest: rules require production before nearest local magistrate or police authority and prompt inter district notification.

When a warrant of arrest is executed outside its district of issue, the arrested person must be taken before the Executive Magistrate, District Superintendent of Police or Commissioner within whose local limits the arrest occurred, unless the issuing Court is within thirty kilometres or nearer than those officers, or unless security is taken under the relevant provision. The arresting officer must immediately inform the designated police officer in the arrest district and the officer in the district where the arrested person normally resides about the arrest and place of detention.
