D.K. Basu v. State of West Bengal (1997)

Yeh case toofan lag jata hai, bas! So, kuch log jaante hain, kuch nahi... Yeh case hua tha 1990s ke logon se, jab kuch police officers nahi seekhte the ki unhe kya karna chahiye jab log arrest kiya jaayega. Unki bat, "Hum log abhi bhi gareebi mein rehte hain, aap kya expect karrahe hain?"

Basu ke case me, Supreme Court ne yeh rule banaya ki agar police log ko arrest karta hai, toh uske pas ek kewal list honi chahiye jo uske pas hota hai, like address, name, age, etc. Ab aapko 48 ghante ke andar us case ko diya jaana chahiye.
