are of the opinion that the matter requires consideration.

2. Issue notice on the special leave petition and on the prayer

for interim relief.

Reason:

“3. The question that we are called upon for
consideration in the present proceedings is: whether in

1
each and every case, even arising out of an offence
under Indian Penal Code, would it be necessary to
furnish grounds of arrest to an accused either before
arrest or forthwith after arrest. Another question that
this Court is required to consider is: whether, even in
exceptional cases, where on account of certain
exigencies it will not be possible to furnish the
grounds of arrest either before arrest or immediately
after arrest, the arrest would be vitiated on the ground
of non-compliance with the provisions of Section 50 of
the Code of Criminal Procedure.

4. The outcome of this judgment will have a bearing on finally

deciding this matter.

5. Mr. Sidharth Luthra, learned senior counsel drew our attention

to the fact that a large number of cases, which are pending before

the High Court, where it is likely that the impugned order herein

would be cited as a precedent.

6. In view of the urgency involved, list the matter on

18.07.2025.
