Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the appellant's arrest under FIR No. 224/2023, asserting violations of Article 21 and Article 22 of the Constitution of India. The Court emphasized that the arrest memo lacked grounds for arrest, constituting a breach of constitutional rights. The Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's plea by the High Court, affirming the validity of the remand order dated 4th October 2023, thereby rejecting the appellant's claims of illegal detention and procedural impropriety.
