The officer failed to discharge that burden. Temporary custody under Rule 129(4) was valid only where the arrest itself was lawful; it could not independently validate detention or cure an invalid arrest. Because the arrest was unlawful, the custody order lacked a lawful foundation. The detention was therefore unlawful, and the High Court's release order was upheld. en-us Tue, 07 May 1946 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 13 Mar 2018 15:56:34 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=199811 Arrest under Rule 129(1) of the Defence of India Rules required the police officer to show reasonable grounds for suspicion, because the provision imposed an objective standard that had to be justified when challenged.
