Sarwan Singh And Ors. vs State Of Punjab on 11 August, 1976
The facts in Sarwan Singh v. State of Punjab (ibid) were
entirely different. Therein, the accused who had visible
marks of injuries was straightaway brought by the Police
from its prolonged custody, and produced before the
Magistrate who immediately thereupon recorded his
confessional statement, while the Police Sub-Inspector
remained outside in the verandah of the Magistrate's office.
The Magistrate did not ask the accused how he came to be
injured. It was in these circumstances that this Court held
that the failure of the Magistrate to give adequate time to
the accused to consider the matter, stamped it is
unvoluntary.
