i am not a lawyer. But i know police can do arrest or file FIR in case of coagnizable complain if it is non coagnizable then FIR is not file and normally police leave the arrested person from custody after 2-24 hour.

If FIR is filed then see on what charges [which IPC police have used against ur friend] they have arrested ur friend.
If u fill that charges are 100% false contact to Police commisioner and explai him all the sitution, it will more better if u hire lawyer for communicating with police commisiner.

If FIR is filled then u have to get bail from the court and long - running process start from here. In the next 3 month police will file charge sheet. Even during this period, good or smart  lawyer can nullified the chargesheet i.e ur friend can be free from cour trial.

appoint the fearless lawyer as most of the new lawyer will say that, now you can't do anything. But this is not the case.

And don't be afraid of the police they are gundaas nothing more then that.

Just i approach the state human rights commision and file a complaint against this thing and put the respondent as the District Superindent of Police, so the commision will send a notice to the concern SP and the SP will take necessary action on the police who ileagally arrested.

Police has the right to arrest for interrogation purpose. And police are mostly always right on their path while make an arrest of a purpose. The reason for the arrest is not disclosed, but you can anyhow ask the IO under what section the arrest has been made and apply for the bail in the metropolition court with cash bail or surety.

Non issuance of Memo of Arrest or non compliance of D.K.Basu judgment of Apex Court is a contempt of Supreme Court and its prosecution lies with the High Court of the Sate as envisaged in the said judgement. If no Memo of Arrest has been issued, please move to High Court for contempt of Supreme Court order. Ypu can alternatively file a writ  of Habeas Corpus also if he has not been produced before the local court within 24 hours of arrest.

Any citation or copy of the order please?

Its strange to hear that Police said they have summons and not warrant?

Anjuru Chandra Sekhar (Advocate )     16 June 2012

Every Police station needs to have CCTV cameras installed inside so that supervision from Control rooms/Ministry of Home Affairs (State and Centre) is made possible.

S.B.adil rahman (Legal Consultant )     16 June 2012

Chandrashekhran Sir, corruption is an organised crime not limited to one person. In police 98% personnel varying from different ranks are involved in well knit manner. If the system as suggested by you is intorduced then Control Room or Ministry of Home Affairs will also become one of the beneficiaries of the booty adversely affecting the poors as the  rates of bribe will shoot up to get a genuine and legal thing done by the police.So please drop this idea. I would on the other hand invite you to the website mha.nic.in where you will be able to see the Declaration of Assets of immovable properties submitted by the IPS officers as on 1.1.2012 and you will come to know that most of the IPS officers have so much landed properties that if those are converted in to grave yards, it will serve the purpose of the entire Muslims and Christians of the State for their burial.
