What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

A two-judge bench of Justices Ujjal Bhuyan and Atul Chandurkar delivered a significant judgment in the Supreme Court regarding the procedure for re-arresting an accused. The ruling addresses the practice of immediately re-arresting individuals released from custody. The court mandated that for a re-arrest to occur after an initial arrest was declared illegal due to a breach of Article 22(1) of the Constitution, the police must file an application with the concerned Judicial Magistrate and obtain the Magistrate's sanction.
