Q111 (CISF/2020) Polity & Governance › Governance, Policies & Social Justice

Which one of the following is not correct?
Under the Code of Criminal Procedure, no person who has been arrested by a police officer shall be discharged except

Explanation

According to Section 59 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), 1973 (which corresponds to Section 58 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023), no person who has been arrested by a police officer shall be discharged except on his own bond, or on bail, or under the special order of a Magistrate.

This provision ensures that once an arrest is made, the police cannot release the individual at their own whim; they must follow these specific legal avenues. Option D (upon the completion of trial) is not a condition mentioned under this section for the discharge of an arrested person from police custody. While a person may be acquitted or discharged at the end of a trial, Section 59 specifically governs the immediate release mechanisms available after an arrest has been effected.
