Prayagraj: The Allahabad High Court has recently pronounced its crucial verdict. In fact, the judgment says, "the arrest of the person against whom fir has been lodged should be ' one last option" for the police. Further, it has also been said that in cases where the arrest of the accused is very important, or it is necessary to interrogate him in custody, there should be an arrest in those cases. The court recently said, "irrational and indiscriminate arrests are a violation of human rights." In fact, in one case last Wednesday, Justice Siddhartha granted anticipatory bail to a person named Sachin Saini of Bulandshahr with conditions.

In the meantime, it was said, "the courts have repeatedly said that arrest should be a final option for the police and where the arrest or custodial interrogation of the accused is necessary, there should be an arrest in the same cases. FIR was lodged against Saini under different sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Further, the High Court has also said, "after registering fir, the police can arrest the accused in their will. No definite period has been fixed for the police to arrest the accused against whom FIR has been lodged.'

In its order, the court also referred to Joginder Kumar's case in which the Supreme Court referred to the third report of the National Police Commission. In fact, the report says, "The arrest by the police in India is one of the main sources of corruption in the police. The report also says that "about 60 percent of police arrests are either non-essential or unreasonable and such unfair police actions contribute 43.2 percent to prison expenses."
