casestatus.in Summary

Summary: Saurabh Kumar's Special Leave Petition challenging Section 167(2) proviso (a) of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1972 was dismissed by the Supreme Court on 04/07/2013. The petitioner argued that the provision, which permits magistrates to authorize detention beyond 15 days without stating reasons, violated Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution. The Court held that the provision provides sufficient safeguards by requiring magistrates to be satisfied that "adequate grounds exist" for extended detention, making the procedure reasonable and constitutionally valid. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
