https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=303628 Section 151 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 was upheld as constitutionally valid because it permits arrest without warrant only when a police officer has information of a design to commit a cognizable offence and arrest is necessary to prevent it, while also limiting detention to 24 hours unless otherwise authorised by law. The provision was not treated as arbitrary or unreasonable merely because misuse may occur. The Court also declined to quash the criminal proceedings, as the complaints were pursued before competent criminal courts and no mala fides, abuse of process, or other legally sustainable ground for interference was shown. en-us Wed, 16 Mar 2005 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 16:49:48 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=303628 Section 151 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 was upheld as constitutionally valid because it permits arrest without warrant only when a police officer has information of a design to commit a cognizable offence and arrest is necessary to prevent it, while also limiting detention to 24 hours unless otherwise authorised by law.
