Delhi High Court Directs Delhi Police to Include 'Grounds of Arrest' in Arrest Memo Forms

-

The Delhi High Court has directed the Delhi Police to modify arrest memo forms to include a column for recording the "grounds of arrest" of an accused, ensuring compliance with Section 50 of the Cr.P.C. and Section 47 of BNSS, 2023. Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma emphasized that anyone arrested must be informed of the specific offence and the reasons for their arrest.

In the case of Pranav Kuckreja v. State (NCT of Delhi), the petitioner challenged his arrest in a matrimonial dispute, arguing that the grounds for his arrest were not communicated, violating the mandatory requirements of Section 50 Cr.P.C. Despite the Delhi Police's claim that the grounds were conveyed orally, the Court found the arrest memo deficient, as it lacked a column for the grounds of arrest.

Granting bail, the Court declared the arrest illegal, citing non-compliance with Section 50 Cr.P.C. It emphasized that the grounds of arrest must be communicated to the accused immediately upon arrest. The Court clarified that its decision was based solely on this technical non-compliance and not on the merits of the case.

Delhi High Court Stays Trial Against P. Chidambaram in Aircel-Maxis Money Laundering Case

-
The Delhi High Court recently stayed the trial proceedings against Congress leader and former Union Minister P. Chidambaram in a money laundering case connected to the Aircel-Maxis deal. Justice Manoj Kumar Ohri, while issuing notice to the Enforcement Directorate (ED), stated, “I will pass a detailed order,” and stayed the proceedings until the next hearing. Chidambaram challenged the trial court’s order, which took cognizance of the ED’s complaint against him and his son, Karti Chidambaram. His legal team argued that prosecution sanction was mandatory before cognizance could be taken. The case revolves around alleged irregularities in the ₹3,500 crore Aircel-Maxis deal during Chidambaram's tenure as Union Finance Minister, particularly concerning Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) approvals.
