What's behind this
The Supreme Court ruled that the constitutionally mandated 24‑hour deadline to present an accused before a judicial magistrate begins when the person is detained, not when a formal arrest is made. The decision expands the scope of civil liberties and clarifies that delays 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.
