BNS | Arrest Prohibited Until Court Takes Cognizance; 60-Day Investigation Deadline Imposed : Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court has ruled that an accused cannot be arrested in a BNS case until the court takes cognizance of the police report, mandating completion of investigation within 60 days. This sets a critical pre-trial procedural safeguard for individuals facing non-bailable offenses under the new criminal code, ensuring due process before custodial action.
