person who breaks the law is arrested.&nbsp;The term <a href=\"https:\/\/lawcommissionofindia.nic.in\/reports\/177rptp2.pdf\">arrest<\/a> means to&nbsp;apprehend a person by the legal authority to cause deprivation of liberty. Furthermore, an arrest can also be understood as a seizure or forcible restraint. It is an exercise of power to deprive a person of his or her liberty and involves the keeping of a person in custody by legal authority, especially, in response to a criminal offence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under criminal law, an arrest is an important tool to bring an accused before the court and to not let him abscond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Arrest\"><\/span>Types of Arrest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Following are the two types of Arrest:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>An arrest made in view of a <strong>warrant issued by a magistrate<\/strong><\/li><li>An arrest made <strong>without such a warrant<\/strong> but in accordance with some legal provision permitting such an arrest.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_procedure_of_Arresting_a_Person\"><\/span>The procedure of Arresting a Person<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">In cases where the police <a href=\"https:\/\/police.py.gov.in\/Police%20manual\/Chapter%20PDF\/CHAPTER%2038%20C%20Powers%20of%20Police%20to%20arrest,%20procedure%20of%20arrest,%20and%20documentatio.pdf\">arrest a person<\/a> by the virtue of an arrest warrant issued by a magistrate,&nbsp;the person shall be no be handcuffed unless the magistrate has ordered to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">In cases where a woman is to be arrested, her submission to custody shall be presumed on an oral intimation of arrest unless the circumstances indicate the contrary, or unless there is a female police officer, the male officer making the arrest shall not touch the woman who is to be arrested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">It is when a person to be arrested forcibly resists, or attempts in any manner to evade the arrest, then the police officer or other person affecting the arrest may use all means necessary to give effect to the arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong>No women shall be arrested after sunset and before sunrise except under exceptions and where such exceptional circumstances exist,<\/strong> it is the duty of the woman police officer to make a written report, and obtain the prior permission of the Judicial Magistrate of the first class with competent jurisdiction of the offence for which such arrest is to be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rights_of_an_Arrested_Person_in_India\"><\/span>Rights of an Arrested Person in India<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">An accused in India is given certain rights, the most basic of which are found in the Indian Constitution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lexforti.com\/legal-news\/right-to-access-to-internet-is-an-integral-part-of-right-to-education-privacy-under-article-21-is-subjected-to-restrictions-on-free-speech-under-article-192-of-the-indian-constitution\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Article 21 <\/a><\/strong>of the Indian Constitution provides such rights.

This same rule has been reiterated by a decision of the Supreme Court in the case of <a href=\"https:\/\/indiankanoon.org\/doc\/1938988\/\"><em>Nandini Sathpathy v. P.L.

This has also been enshrined as a fundamental right in <a href=\"https:\/\/indiankanoon.org\/doc\/1293832\/\">Article 22(1)<\/a> of the Constitution of India, which is undeniable in all cases. Section 50(3) of the Code also states that the person against whom proceedings are initiated has a right to be defended by a pleader of his choice.

The apex court has taken a step further in <a href=\"https:\/\/indiankanoon.org\/doc\/765136\/\"><em>Suk Das v. Union Territory of Arunachal Pradesh<\/em><\/a>, wherein it has laid down that this constitutional right cannot be denied if the accused failed to apply for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Right_to_be_examined_by_a_Medical_Practitioner\"><\/span>Right to be examined by a Medical Practitioner: <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/indiankanoon.org\/doc\/441720\/\">Section 54<\/a> of Cr.P.C. enumerates this right and it states that examination of arrested person by medical practitioner at the request of the arrested person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">When an arrested person, whether on a charge or otherwise alleges at the time when he is produced before a Magistrate or at any time for which he is detained in custody that the examination of his body will afford evidence which will lead to disproving the commission of the offence by him or which will establish the committing of offence by any other person against his body, the Magistrate shall direct the examination of the body of such person by a registered medical practitioner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The Magistrate needs to use his discretion to see that the request is not made for vexation or delay or for defeating the ends of justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Custodial death and illegal arrest are major problems in India.
