Which provision of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), 1973, stipulates that a police officer must produce a person arrested without a warrant before a Magistrate within a maximum period of 24 hours ?
Answer: D
The provision is Section 57 of the CrPC.
Section 57 forbids a police officer to detain a person arrested without warrant for longer than is reasonable, and in no case beyond twenty-four hours exclusive of the time needed for the journey to the Magistrate's court, unless a Magistrate orders otherwise under Section 167. It gives effect to Article 22(2) of the Constitution, and appears as Section 58 in the BNSS.
Section 41 lists when police may arrest without warrant, Section 51 deals with the search of arrested persons, and Section 164 with recording of confessions and statements by a Magistrate.
