Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first thing I should say when arrested?

Say 'I wish to remain silent and would like to speak to my lawyer.' Do not resist arrest physically. Ask for the arrest memo and read it carefully before signing.

Can police handcuff me during arrest?

The Supreme Court has held that handcuffing is not a routine practice. It should only be used if the accused is violent or likely to escape. Arbitrary handcuffing violates human rights.

Can police arrest me at night?

For offences under Section 41 CrPC, police cannot arrest at night without a warrant from a magistrate. However, for serious offences, arrest can be made at any time.

What if I am arrested without a warrant?

For cognizable offences, police can arrest without a warrant. Ask for the grounds of arrest and the specific offence. If no valid grounds exist, the arrest may be illegal.

Can I make a phone call after arrest?

Yes, you have the right to inform a family member or friend about your arrest. The police must allow you to make this call. Contact our criminal lawyer in Asansol at +91 7001486154.

What is the maximum time I can be held before charges?

Police can detain you for up to 24 hours (excluding travel time) before producing you before a magistrate. Magistrate can order police custody for up to 15 days or judicial custody for up to 60-90 days.

Can I be arrested for a civil matter?

No, arrest in civil matters is generally not permitted except in specific cases like contempt of court or certain recovery proceedings. Criminal arrest requires a cognizable offence.
