CrPC 96: Busting the 'Apprehended Arrest' Myth
crpc_bnss clat_pg advanced myth_bustKoi mujhe samjhae, maine suna hai coaching classes mein yeh baat galat dikhate hain, crpc 96 ke madhyam se apprehended arrest ki madad li ja sakti hai. Lekin yeh kahaan se aaya? Crpc 96 ka matlab hai police ko kisi shakshakar se arrest karne ki anumati hai, jab wo lagta hai koi apradh karna chala hai. Abhi tak thik hai, par yeh is tarah se nahin hai ki police kisi ko arrest karne se chhutkaar nahin paaye. Apni shakti ka istemaal karke, police aapko arrest kar sakti hai, beech mein bhi.

"Bhala, but I think yeh article ne kuchh sahi hi keh diya hai, lekin CrPC 96 ke peechhe ka manana thoda sa jatil hai.
Bhala khidki! (Good one!) I completely agree with you on this. Section 96 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) clearly states that the mere apprehension of arrest is not sufficient to grant anticipatory bail. Lekin, (but) many lawyers still mislead clients on this. We need to spread awareness about this, especially among first-generation litigants.
"Arre bhai, yeh myth kahaan se utha hai? CrPC 96 toh aisa kehne wala hai ki police officer ko apne powers under 159 kaa use karke arrest karne ki khaas icchha karne se pehle 'reason to believe' hona chahiye. Aise hi 96(2) kii sharti hai. Lekin koi log isse 'arrest ke apprehension' ke naam par twist karte hain.
Maine CrPC 96 par dekha hai kya? Iska matlab hai ki police ko aapko ghar se hathiyaar ya koi bhi cheez lekar nahin deti, phir bhi arrest kar sakti hai. Lekin, police ko aapko 24 ghante ke andar pata karna hoga, aur aapko samjhaana hoga kyun arrest kiya ja raha hai. Yeh to theek lagta hai, par samay ki chinta abhi bhi hai.
