Khatri And Ors. vs State Of Bihar And Ors. on 14 January, 1981

In Khatri and others (11) v. State of Bihar and others [(1981) 1 SCC 627], the Hon'ble Supreme Court, speaking through Justice P.N. Bhagwati (as he then was), raised the questions whether the court can injunct the State from depriving a person of his life or personal liberty; that the court was helpless to grant relief to the person who has suffered such deprivation; and that why the courts shouldn't be prepared to forge new tools and devise new remedies for the purpose of vindicating the most precious of the precious fundamental right to life and personal liberty? The Court answered the above questions by explicitly directing the State and its police authorities to scrupulously observe the constitutional and legal requirement to produce an arrested person before a Judicial Magistrate within twenty-four hours of the arrest.
