Supreme Court may form larger bench to review arrest grounds rule
On Thursday, the Supreme Court announced it might send the issue of whether probe agencies are required to give written arrest reasons to an accused to a larger bench. This matter surfaced during the hearing of a petition filed by the Meghalaya government challenging the bail granted to Sonam Raghuvanshi. Observing that there are inconsistent judgments from various benches on this topic, the court scheduled the next hearing for July 14.
