BNSS Section 483 | Non-Communication of Arrest Grounds Does Not Invalidate Arrest: Kerala HC Grants Bail to Dy.SP in Bribery Case
Kerala High Court ruled that failure to communicate grounds of arrest in writing under Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) does not vitiate the arrest itself, though it remains a mandatory constitutional requirement. The court granted bail to a Deputy Superintendent of Police accused of demanding Rs. 2 lakh as bribe, emphasizing that procedural lapses do not automatically invalidate criminal proceedings against public servants.
