Arrest of a person is made in order to ensure his presence at the trial in connection with any offences to which he is directly or indirectly connected or to prevent the commission of a criminal offence. In law, there is principle of “presumption of innocence till he has proven guilty” it requires a person arrested to be treated with humanity, Dignity and respectfully till his guilt is proof. In a free society like ours , law is quite careful toward one’s “personal liberty” and doesn’t permit the detention of any person without legal sanction. Even article 21 of our constitution provides : “No person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to procedure established by law”. The procedure contemplated by this article must be ‘right, just and fair’ and not arbitrary, fanciful or oppressive. The arrest should not only be legal but justified also, Even the Constitution of India also recognize the rights of arrested person under the ‘Fundamental Rights ‘
