Which section authorises police to arrest without warrant?

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 09 September 2021 This query is : Resolved
A cognizable offence is the one for which a police officer has discretionary power to arrest a person without warrant, under Section 2 (c) of CrPC.

The Section 41 CrPC is the provision that enables a police officer to arrest an accused without a warrant.

The Section 41 a, CrPC deals with arrest when the offence is committed in the presence of the police office.

Section 41 b, CrPC speaks of arrest relating to a cognizable offence punishable with less than 7 years or up to 7 years.

In this scenario, my query is which is the basic enabling section in CrPC which deals with the arrest of a person (without a warrant) accused of a cognisable offence having more than 7 years of imprisonment?
