officer, without any warrant, is entitled to know the full particulars of offence for
which he is being arrested and the police officer is bound to tell the accused.
2. Right to remain silence.
This ‘right to silence’ has been derived from the common law principles, It implies

the police or by the court.

legal officer immediately. Further, the captured individual must be limited in police
headquarters just and no other place before taking him to the Magistrate.

Any person who is to be arrested without a warrant and is not accused of a non-
bailable offence has to be informed by the police officer that he is entitled to be
released on bail on payment of the surety amount.
5. Right to consult a lawyer
Every person who is arrested has a proper right to consult a lawyer of his/her own
choice and it cannot be denied in any case.
6. Right of the trial
The constitution under article 14 says about the right to equality before the law. The
code of criminal procedure also provides that for a trial to be fair, it must be in the
open court.
