Know Your Rights When Arrested under BNSS (Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita) Right to Know the Grounds of Arrest: Police must inform you of the reason for your arrest immediately. If it’s a bailable offense, they should also explain your right to bail and assist in arranging sureties. Right to Be Taken Before a Magistrate Without Delay: Under Section 58, you must be presented before a magistrate within 24 hours of your arrest (excluding travel time). This ensures judicial oversight and protects against unlawful detention. Right to Be Released on Bail: For bailable offenses, you have the right to be released on bail. For non-bailable offenses, bail is at the discretion of the court, based on the circumstances and strength of the case. Right to a Fair, Free, and Speedy Trial: Under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution, every individual has the right to life, personal liberty, and a fair trial. The legal process must be just and reasonable. Right to Consult an Advocate: You can meet your lawyer during interrogation (though not for its entirety) under Section 38. Always ensure you have legal representation. Right to Free Legal Aid: If you're unable to afford a lawyer, the State is required to provide free legal assistance. This right ensures justice for those who can’t afford it. Right to Remain Silent: You cannot be forced to self-incriminate. The right to remain silent protects you from giving evidence that may be used against you. This is guaranteed by Article 20(3) of the Constitution. #indialegalapp?#indialegal?#legalinformation?#legalawareness?##knowyourrights?#bnss?#legalrights?#justicematters?#fairtrial
