UNB, Dhaka :
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s restriction on making arrest without warrant, Law Minister Anisul Huq on Tuesday said sections 54 and 167 of the Criminal Procedures (CrPC) will be amended, if necessary, for people’s sake.
“I hope, the court will give directives in its full verdict about the reforms of
the Sections 54 and 167 of the Criminal Procedures (CrPC),” he said while talking to reporters at his office.
Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court upheld a High Court order that asked for the reform of the provisions of arrest without warrant and interrogation on remand Under Sections 54 and 167 of the CrPC.
Replying to a question, Anisul said the section 54 has been kept as an emergency provision.
If law enforcement agencies suspect anyone for any criminal offence, they can arrest him or her under section 54, and the arrestee should be produced before the court within 24 hours of the arrest, he said.
