The Supreme Court ruled that the 24-hour constitutional mandate to produce an arrested person before a magistrate begins from the moment of detention, not from the formal arrest time recorded by police. The bench of Justices Ujjal Bhuyan and Atul S Chandurkar stated that distinguishing between arrest and detention is constitutionally unsustainable and emphasized this to prevent custodial violence during detention.
