BNSS Section 170 | Preventive Arrest Requires Reasoned Orders and Inquiry Under Articles 14 & 21 : MP High Court
Madhya Pradesh High Court rules that preventive arrests under Section 170 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) must be backed by reasoned orders and a proper inquiry, failing which they violate constitutional rights. The court quashed a mechanical order that sent the petitioner to jail without due process, reinforcing procedural fairness in preventive detention cases.
