Arrest and Detention Remedies

ARREST AND DETENTION REMEDIES
A Practitioner's Handbook on Personal Liberty Law in India

Personal liberty is one of the most fiercely guarded rights under the Constitution of India - yet the law governing arrest, custody, remand, and detention is scattered across the Constitution, the CrPC, the new Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and a fast-moving, often conflicting body of Supreme Court and High Court judgments.

This handbook brings that scattered law together into one clear, structured reference. It walks through the entire life-cycle of an arrest - from the constitutional guarantees under Articles 21 and 22, through the Joginder Kumar and Arnesh Kumar limits on the power to arrest, the D.K. Basu safeguards against custodial abuse, the landmark Vihaan Kumar ruling on written grounds of arrest, the mechanics of default (statutory) bail under Section 187, BNSS, and on to anticipatory bail, regular bail, and habeas corpus.

Written for the young advocate at their first remand hearing, the law student preparing for exams and moot court, and the seasoned criminal lawyer who wants a fast, reliable refresher - this book includes a full table of cases, a glossary, an FAQ section, draft application skeletons, and clear flags on every point of law still pending before larger benches.

Inside, you'll find:

• The constitutional foundation: Articles 21 and 22 explained
• The Joginder Kumar / Arnesh Kumar limits on arrest, and the pending Kejriwal reference
• The 11 D.K. Basu safeguards against custodial abuse
• Grounds of arrest and the Vihaan Kumar / Pankaj Bansal line of cases
• Default bail under the 60/90-day rule - old CrPC test vs. the new BNSS test
• Regular bail (Satender Kumar Antil), anticipatory bail (Sibbia, Sushila Aggarwal), and habeas corpus
• A quick-reference case table, glossary, FAQs, and draft petition skeletons

A reference every criminal law practitioner in India will want within arm's reach.
