Section 46(4) CrPC | Night Arrest of Women Without Magisterial Permission Not Automatically Illegal but Triggers Departmental Inquiry : Tripura HC

Tripura High Court ruled that while arresting a woman after sunset without magisterial permission violates Section 46(4) CrPC, it does not automatically entitle her to bail. The court directed a departmental inquiry into the procedural lapse, emphasizing compliance with arrest protocols under the NDPS Act.
