Question: Whether police can arrest an person before surrendering him before the magistrate in the court premises or when the police finds the accused along with the advocate? Is there any rules or laws regarding this problem?
In our Borivali (place where things happen today morning) that accused advocate was with him then the advocate said to the police
1)That he has no right to arrest this client in the court premises.
2) As he is with the advocate who is representing him in the court the police has no right to arrest when he is with the advocate who represents him?
Is the above mentioned is right. there is any judgment on the above situtation.

1. Police can not arrest a person in the Court Hall without permission of the presiding officer.
2. it is not the law that a person can not be arrested simply because he is with his advocate.
