Arrest to be made strictly according to Sanhita
Full Text
62. Arrest to be made strictly according to Sanhita.— No arrest shall be made except in accordance with the provisions of this Sanhita or any other law for the time being in force providing for arrest.
Plain English Summary
Explicitly mandates that all arrests must strictly follow the procedures laid down in the BNSS or other specific laws in force.
Key Legal Elements
- Mandatory compliance with BNSS procedures
- Adherence to other valid arrest laws
- Zero tolerance for extra-legal arrests
- Direct link to Article 21 constitutional safeguards
Practical Note
This is a new statutory reinforcement in the BNSS that strengthens the rule of law; any arrest deviating from these procedures can be challenged as illegal and a violation of the 'procedure established by law' under Article 21.
