police cannot keep any person arrested for any alleged offence for
more than twenty-four hours.Within 24 hours the
police is legally duty-bound to produce the said arrested person
before the nearest magistrate under whose jurisdiction the alleged
offence has been committed. In case the police fails to produce
him within the prescribed period of 24 hours, the detention will
amount to an illegal detention, and on moving a habeas corpus
writ petition, he has to be set at liberty at once. There have been
instances, where police has kept persons in their custody for more
than 24 hours, and on filing a writ petition they have been ordered
to be released.
