Your arrest rights under Section 50 CrPC protect you from arbitrary detention. Every person arrested in Kolkata without a warrant must be told the grounds of arrest and the right to be released on bail if the offence permits it.
Core Rights at the Moment of Arrest
The police must inform you of the grounds, allow you to inform a relative or friend, and mention your right to bail. Violation of these arrest rights is a badge of illegality you can challenge.
- Section 50 CrPC requires grounds of arrest
- Right to be informed of the bail provision
- Right to inform a relative under Section 50A CrPC
- Illegal arrest can be challenged via habeas corpus
What to Do When These Rights Are Violated
Note what police told you, contact a family member, and reach a criminal lawyer immediately. Prompt legal action exposes unlawful detention and secures release.
