Issues: Whether the petitioner's detention, arrest and remand were vitiated by illegal custody, non-compliance with mandatory procedural safeguards, and failure to produce him before the competent Magistrate within the prescribed time.
Analysis: The Court found that the petitioner was taken into custody on 29.01.2026, the arrest memo was prepared only on 30.01.2026, the place of arrest was not clearly mentioned, the grounds of arrest were not properly annexed or acknowledged, no transit remand was obtained, and the petitioner was produced before the remand Magistrate only on 31.01.2026. The Court held that these defects showed clear violation of the safeguards governing arrest and production of an arrestee, and that the remand order was passed without proper judicial application of mind.
Conclusion: The detention, arrest and remand were held illegal, the remand order was quashed, and the petitioner was directed to be released forthwith.
Final Conclusion: The custody was held to be unlawful for breach of mandatory arrest and remand safeguards, and the habeas corpus petition was allowed with liberty to proceed afresh in accordance with law.
Ratio Decidendi: Arrest and remand under fiscal statutes must strictly comply with mandatory procedural safeguards, including clear disclosure of the arrest particulars and timely production before the competent Magistrate; failure to do so renders the custody unlawful.
