The Andhra Pradesh High Court ruled that Section 47(1) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) is mandatory, and any violation invalidates arrest and detention. Justices R Raghunandan and K Manmadha Rao quashed the remand order and ordered the detainee's immediate release due to procedural lapses. The court emphasized that strict compliance with BNSS procedural safeguards is essential for lawful arrest and detention.
