No Arrests Without Communicating Grounds and Reasons, UP Govt Assures Allahabad High Court

The Allahabad High Court was recently informed by the Uttar Pradesh Government that strict compliance would be ensured with provisions of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) relating to arrests.

The State assured the Court that no person would be arrested without being informed of the grounds and reasons for such arrest, as mandated under the new criminal procedure framework.

The submission came during proceedings concerning alleged procedural violations by police authorities.

Emphasising personal liberty and due process protections, the Court examined whether law enforcement agencies were properly implementing statutory safeguards introduced under the BNSS.
