The applicant, Vishnudath, was arrested for possessing 23.930 kilograms of ganja under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. The applicant's counsel argued that the arrest was illegal as the applicant was not informed of the grounds of arrest. The court considered the requirement of informing the person arrested of the grounds of arrest under Article 22(1) of the Constitution of India and Section 47 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. The court also referred to various Supreme Court judgments on the issue. The court found that the arrest intimation did not specifically contain the quantity of the contraband possessed by the applicant, which is necessary to determine whether the offence is bailable or non-bailable.
