The Kerala High Court heard a bail application from Akash B, accused under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, for possessing MDMA and Ganja. The applicant contended that his arrest was illegal due to non-communication of the grounds of arrest, violating Article 22(1) of the Constitution and Section 47 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. Citing Supreme Court precedents, the Court affirmed that informing the arrested person of the grounds of arrest is a mandatory constitutional and statutory requirement. Finding that the grounds were not furnished, the Court declared the arrest and subsequent remand illegal and granted regular bail.
