The petitioner, Anu Raveendran (Accused No. 5), sought regular bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, in connection with Crime No. 371/2026 of Vizhinjam Police Station, involving alleged offences under Sections 20(b)(ii)(C) and 25 of the NDPS Act, 1985, relating to a conspiracy to procure and transport 21.013 kg of Ganja from Tamil Nadu. The petitioner's primary contention was that the grounds of arrest were not properly communicated to him as required under Article 22(1) of the Constitution and Section 47 of the BNSS. The Kerala High Court undertook an extensive review of Supreme Court precedents on the mandatory constitutional and statutory requirement of communicating grounds of arrest in writing, including the requirement in NDPS cases that the quantity of contraband seized must be specified. The Court found that the arrest notice issued to the petitioner under Section 47 of the BNSS merely stated he was involved in the crime without specifying the quantity of contraband, falling short of the mandatory requirements laid down by the Supreme Court and this Court's own precedents. The judgment (as reproduced) ends mid-sentence before the final order is stated.
