Arrest grounds under PMLA: oral notification at arrest with later written confirmation meets constitutional information requirements.
Whether oral notification of arrest grounds at the time of detention followed by later written documentation satisfies the PMLA arrest requirement and the constitutional mandate to be informed of arrest grounds is addressed. The court concludes that oral communication at arrest, with subsequent written confirmation provided within a reasonable time, aligns with the statutory phrase "as soon as may be" and Article 22(1), consistent with controlling precedent and procedural substance.
