The authorisation objection was not accepted because a notification appointing a Special Public Prosecutor was produced and any initial defect was treated as cured when the Delhi Administration supported the petition. On custody, the provision was read as allowing the Magistrate to authorise detention in such custody as he thinks fit from time to time during the initial fifteen-day period, including a change between judicial custody and police custody. Police custody, however, cannot be authorised after that statutory period. en-us Wed, 04 Nov 1981 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 17:30:55 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=194528 A petition on custody under Section 167(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 addressed two issues: authorisation and the Magistrate's power to change custody within the first fifteen days.
