Question

In Cognizable offences _______

• A. A police officer shall not arrest without warrant
• B. A police officer may arrest without warrant
• C. Arrest is not required
• D. A police officer himself can arrest and release

Hint:

In cases of cognizable offences, familiarize yourself with the rights of the police regarding arrest without a warrant. This can be critical in urgent legal situations.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

In cognizable offences, a police officer may arrest without a warrant if the offence is of a serious nature. This allows them to take immediate action to prevent further harm or ensure the accused is available for trial. Arrest without warrant is not applicable for all types of offences, especially non-cognizable ones.
