Nazir Ahmad vs Emperor (No. 2) on 16 June, 1936
Though there cannot be any quarrel with the general principle
highlighted by learned counsel for the appellants that if a thing is
required to be done in a particular way it should be done in that way,
the position here is different in view of our conclusions that the
requirements of Section 50 of the Act were sufficiently complied with.
The general principle as noted has been stated illuminatingly in Nazir
Ahmad v. King-Emperor (AIR 1936 P.C. 253), and later by this Court in
State of Uttar Pradesh v. Singhara Singh and Ors. (1964 (4) SCR 485).
What the concerned officer is required to do is to convey about the
choice the accused had. The accused (suspect) has to be told in a way
that he becomes aware that the choice is his and not of the concerned
officer, even though there is no specific form.

Shri D.K. Basu,Ashok K. Johri vs State Of West Bengal,State Of U.P on 18 December, 1996
172). With reference to the questions that were formulated for
determination in Baldev Singh's case (supra), it was submitted that the
sanctity that is attached to the compliance with the requirements has to
be culled out from references made to the principles under the
Preventive Detention Laws, The Fifth Amendment to the American
Constitution and the imperative and obligatory nature of the duty as
indicated in D.K. Basu v. State of West Bengal (1997 (1) SCC 416). The
Act provides stringent measures attached for infraction. That itself
brings in the necessity to ensure strict compliance with the
requirements. What has been done in the instant case is not in any way
compliance with the requirements as there was no specific information
given about the right. It is pointed out that in some cases, this Court
has said that substantial compliance would be sufficient which is
against the settled position in law that in respect of penal statutes
substantial compliance will not be sufficient.
