Police to Report apprehensions
AI Assist
Summary
Officers in charge of police stations must report every person arrested without a warrant within their station limits to the District Magistrate, or to the Sub-divisional Magistrate if directed. The report must be made whether the person is admitted to bail or not. This keeps the local magistracy informed about non-warrant arrests.
Example
Priya is arrested by the local police without a warrant after a neighbourhood argument. The station officer must report her arrest to the District Magistrate, even though she is later admitted to bail. The District Magistrate thus receives official notice of the non-warrant arrest.
Bare Act
