Arrest safeguards require recorded and furnished grounds of arrest and actual intimation of arrest to a friend or relative; merely informing an accused of a right to communicate does not establish compliance. The text states that failure to meet these requirements rendered the arrest, detention and remand illegal. It further notes that where proceedings already concern the same alleged offence under the CGST Act, described as a complete code, subsequent police implication under the B.N.S.S. is not justified. Inter-State transfer from custody also requires production before the appropriate local Magistrate and transit remand; absence of transit remand is identified as an additional illegality.
