As per case facts, the Petitioner (Accused No.2) was arrested for fatally assaulting the deceased with a knife and injuring others, witnessed by nine persons. The charge sheet was filed,
...and the petitioner was in judicial custody. The petitioner sought bail, contending his arrest and remand were illegal because the grounds of arrest were not furnished to him before production before the Judicial Magistrate. The question arose whether the arrest was rendered illegal due to the non-furnishing of grounds of arrest in writing to the accused. Finally, the High Court, citing Supreme Court judgments, found that the investigating officer failed to provide the grounds of arrest in writing, deeming the arrest illegal. Consequently, the petitioner was set at liberty, with the prosecution permitted to seek remand after duly supplying the grounds of arrest in writing.
