Guest (Querist) 09 September 2010 This query is : Resolved 
hi experts,
i have a query,hope u will give ur precious time to it,thnx!!
As u know that section 41 of cr.p.c. confers the power to police that police may arrest a person without warrant or without an order from a magistrate..so here i wanna know that is there any provision in law by which a layman may challenge this power. .i asked this coz oftenly this section has been misused by some policemen...
thanx n regards,

A Layman can challenge it by filing a writ.
B.B.R.Goud. (Expert) 10 September 2010
yes. any one can challenge unlawful detention under IPC or writ under Art 32 or Art 226.

I agree with experts

under art. 226/227 you may go to high court.

If any person is arrested against the conditions mentioned in the section, then that person can challenge it .
s.subramanian (Expert) 11 September 2010
The illegal custody or detention can be always challenged by filing a writ of habeas corpus since it infringes your fundamental right to life and personal liberty under Arts.20 to 22 of Constitution of India.

If the power to arrest is malafidely used by the police u/s 41 crpc a criminal case u/s 330,342,323 ipc may be regsitered against the police officer through application in court U/s 156(3)crpc.Usually CP/DCP/ ACP/SP/DYSP & other high ranking police officers take serious note of such malpractice hence simultaneously if a written application is submitted to them against the delinquent police officer usually a police officer is removed from the position of power immediately and later punished in departmental enquiry too.
