Section 19(2) of the PMLA requires the arrest order and supporting material to reach the Adjudicating Authority immediately, meaning expeditiously and substantially simultaneously, subject only to time strictly necessary to compile extensive records and complete administrative requirements. No fixed forwarding period applies; a five-day delay in the stated circumstances does not invalidate arrest. Article 21 prevents the PMLA's twin bail conditions from operating as punishment where investigation is complete and a document-heavy trial cannot finish within reasonable time. Continued prolonged custody in those circumstances warrants regular bail, subject to conditions protecting evidence and witnesses.
