The petitioner (A3) was arrested on 05.05.2026 and remanded to judicial custody for alleged transportation of 135 kilograms of ganja, attracting offences under the NDPS Act. He sought bail primarily on the ground that the grounds of arrest were never furnished to him as mandated by Article 22(1) of the Constitution of India. The court examined settled Supreme Court precedents—including Vihaan Kumar vs. State of Haryana [2025 INSC 162] and Prabir Purkayastha—which hold that communicating grounds of arrest in writing, in a language the arrestee understands, is a sacrosanct constitutional requirement, and non-compliance vitiates the arrest and remand. The court noted that the burden of proving compliance with Article 22(1) lies on the Investigating Officer/Agency, and that mere filing of a charge-sheet does not cure the illegality of a defective arrest.
