Section 167(2) of the CrPC:If the police are unable to complete an investigation within a specified period, a person in judicial custody has the right to seek bail.

  • According to Section 167(2) of the CrPC, the magistrate can order the accused person to be detained in police custody for up to 15 days. If more time is needed, the magistrate can authorize the accused person's detention in judicial custody, which means jail. However, the accused cannot be held for more than:
    • Ninety days if the investigating authority is looking into a crime that is punishable by death, life imprisonment, or imprisonment for at least ten years.
    • Sixty days if the investigating authority is handling any other offense.

except offences under NDPS and UAP acts.
