Arresting Individuals

A thorough study demonstrates that in the criminal procedure law, the arrest might take place mainly in three potential scenarios.

First is when the arrest order issued by Judicial Officers. The law provides the Judicial Officers with a discretionary power to order an arrest, for a maximum period of 48 hours in the following cases:

1. In crimes
2. While caught committing an offense in felonies that are not punished by fines.
3. In felonies that are not punished by fines if the accused is under investigation or it is probable that he may possibly escape.
4. In Felonies of fraud, theft, treasury, 'severe assault, resisting public force personnel by force, breaching public manners, as well as felonies related to weapons, ammunition, alcohol and hazardous drugs.'
