What's behind this
The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that the constitutionally mandated 24‑hour deadline to present an accused before a judicial magistrate begins at the moment of detention, not at the time of a formal arrest. The decision, described as expanding the scope of civil liberties, clarifies that any delay in filing a formal arrest cannot breach constitutional protections. The ruling was illustrated by a recent case involving four people arrested under the NDPS Act.
