The court found that CBI officers violated constitutional mandates by keeping an accused in hospital from arrest on 31.01.2015 until 07.02.2015 without producing him before a magistrate within 24 hours as required under Section 57 CrPC. The 15-day period must be computed from the date of magistrate's detention order, not arrest date. The subsequent remand order dated 15.02.2015 extending police custody was set aside as it exceeded the permissible 15-day limit. Revision allowed. en-us Thu, 07 May 2015 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 12 Mar 2024 14:13:30 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=312855 The Calcutta HC held that police custody beyond the first 15-day remand period under Section 167(2) CrPC is illegal.
