The petitioner, accused of offences under the Narcotic Drugs & Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, challenged the remand order on grounds that the arrest memo did not contain the grounds of arrest and the 24-hour period for production before the magistrate was miscalculated. The petitioner argued that the time of detention, not the formal arrest time, should be used to calculate the 24-hour period. The court considered various judgments, including those from the Supreme Court and other High Courts, regarding the calculation of the 24-hour period and the requirement to furnish grounds of arrest. The petitioner contended that the arrest and subsequent remand order were vitiated due to non-compliance with these requirements. The court heard arguments from both sides and perused the material records.
