ABSTRACT
The arrest of a person without warrant is one such topic that has been debated many times because it has paved way to massive misuse of power without creating proper channels to protect the rights of the person being arrested that is based on suspicion and not on criminal conviction that leads to violation of their fundamental rights before the trial starts. Thus, this paper has attempted to discuss this topic which is given under Chapter Five of The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The paper has further included the meaning and procedure of arresting a person along with its misuses and finally some suggestions which we will understand with the help of few leading case laws.
Keywords: Arrest, Arrest without a warrant, Misuse by police officers.
