The Delhi High Court ruled that an arrest is not rendered illegal merely due to the absence of written grounds. The Court held that the accused must demonstrate actual prejudice caused by such omission to challenge custody.
The Bombay High Court today has sought a response from the Maharashtra Government on a bail application by Bhavesh Bhide, director of Ego Media, related to a hoarding collapse in Ghatkopar that resulted in 17 deaths. Justices Dangre and Deshpande have directed the government to address the lack of written grounds for the arrest provided to the accused. The Mumbai police must submit an affidavit by July 26.
