State Circulars of Arrest Guidelines
October 28, 2008
As per the guidelines given by the Supreme Court of India in the judgment given for the case of Joginder Kumar Vs. State of UP, in 1994, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) issued the Arrest Guidelines, following which the high police officials of various states and cities have issued circulars to the police of that state/city regarding guidelines of arrest in cases like 498a, 406, 304B etc. We, at Save Indian Family, are slowly unearthing such circulars from other states and will move on to the next step of enforcing them on police by sustained RTI campiagns. Here’s an evergrowing list of the circulars unearthed so far:
