HOW SOON AN ACCUSED BE PRODUCED IN THE COURT AFTER HIS ARREST?

The Accused has to produce before the Jurisdiction Court within 24 hours of his arrest [without Warrant] if one go by Section 57 of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.

However, it is settled in law that the place of arrest and transit time are calculated while production of the Accused to the Jurisdiction Court and even it crosses prescribed 24 hours when the reasons are genuine . Otherwise, it is mandatory for the Police to produce the Accused to the nearest Judicial Magistrate should it require more time for his production in the Jurisdiction Court.
