CrPC 151 vs 154: Diffeence in Arrest

crpc_bnss clat_ug intermediate pyq_discussion

Maine socha tha, arrest karna bahut hi simple hai, but paper ne isse prove kar diya ki kuch aur hai. Question tha, "A person is arrested under Section 151 of the Criminal Procedure Code by a police officer, but subsequently, the arrest is shown to be invalid under Section 154. Can the arrestee claim any compensation or relief?"

Sabse pehle, humein pata hona chahiye ki CrPC 151 under which arrest hai. Section 151 me arrest only karna hai jiska reason hai "apprehension of breach of the peace". Agar arrestee ko pata hota ki arrest invalid hai, toh voh compensation ka claim kar sakta hai, but iske liye court ke paas koi powers nahi hai.

Yaar, I completely disagree with this notion that CrPC 151 and 54 (not 154, saala typo error!) have no difference in arrest. Section 151 is for preventive arrest, whereas Section 154 is for arrest after registering FIR. Arrest under 151 doesn't require FIR, but 154 always needs an FIR first. These two are not interchangeable, bhai!
