In criminal proceedings, an accused person may be placed under police remand or judicial remand after arrest. Both are forms of custody but differ in purpose, authority, and conditions.
Police remand means the accused is kept in police custody for interrogation. It is granted by a magistrate when investigation requires questioning or recovery of evidence. Police remand is time-bound and cannot be extended beyond the limits prescribed by law.
Judicial remand means the accused is sent to jail custody under the supervision of the court. Once judicial remand is ordered, the police cannot interrogate the accused without court permission. This form of remand is meant to ensure custody while protecting the accused from undue pressure.
The magistrate plays a key role in deciding which remand is necessary. The decision depends on factors such as stage of investigation, seriousness of the offence, and need for interrogation.
Understanding the difference between police and judicial remand helps citizens know how custody works and safeguards personal liberty during criminal proceedings.
