duly filed and furnish the reasons and materials which
necessitated the arrest, while forwarding/producing
the accused before the Magistrate for further detention;

of the accused shall peruse the report furnished by the
police officer in terms aforesaid and only after
recording its satisfaction, the Magistrate will authorise
detention;

(5) The decision not to arrest an accused, be
forwarded to the Magistrate within two weeks from the
date of the institution of the case with a copy to the

to be recorded in writing;

from the date of institution of the case, which may be
extended by the Superintendent of Police of the District

concerned liable for departmental action, they shall
also be liable to be punished for contempt of court to be
instituted before High Court having territorial
jurisdiction.

as aforesaid by the judicial Magistrate concerned shall be
