PART-V THE ARREST SERIES (WITH FOCUS ON THE CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE, 1973)
This multi-part blogpost series is aimed at illuminating the most essential aspects of the police’s power to arrest any person. After discussing the circumstances where the police is empowered to arrest a person without warrant in the first and second posts, who can arrest without warrant in the third post , and the procedure and rights of arrestee just prior to and at the time of arrest in the fourth post , this is the fifth post of this series. In this post, I intend to discuss the procedure meant to be followed by the Police if the accused tries to evade the arrest.
