‘Paraded in underwear, ropes tied to waist’: can’t humiliate accused, says Calcutta HC
The police can arrest the accused; they can also take action against him according to the law; but they cannot deliberately defame the accused in the name of arrest; observes Calcutta High Court
The Calcutta High Court has ruled that police cannot deliberately humiliate or defame an accused individual during an arrest. While lawful arrest and subsequent legal actions are permissible, the court emphasized that such procedures must not involve actions intended to disgrace the accused. This includes preventing acts like parading individuals in their underwear or tying ropes around their waists as part of the arrest process.
This ruling clarifies the boundaries of police authority during arrests, ensuring that the dignity of an accused person is respected and preventing potential abuses of power that could lead to irreparable harm to their reputation.
