by the High Court may allow for a remand up to seven days, which a Judicial Magistrate may extend up to not more than fifteen days in total. In cases involving punishment of more than ten years; the charge sheet has to be submitted within a period of sixty days by the prosecuting agency. If it appears to the Magistrate by whom the case is heard that there was no sufficient ground for causing an arrest, the Magistrate may award such compensation, not exceeding one thousand rupees, to be paid by the person so causing the arrest to the person so arrested, for his loss of time and expenses in the matter, as the Magistrate thinks fit. Criminal charges may also be filed on the police for wrongful confinement. This is an implication of Section 41 of the Cr. PC wherein it is clearly stated that a person cannot be arrested without warrant, unless there is a reasonable satisfaction, on the basis of investigation done, about the person’s involvement in a cognizable offence and there is a need to affect his/her arrest. F. Review Investigation and detection of crime are very important elements in solving crime. The focus of any investigation therefore should be on discovering the truth and keeping in mind that the suspect is presumed innocent until proven guilty. The focus should therefore be on the facts and not the person. Police should always ensure that they respect and protect the basic human rights of every person, including the accused, during the investigation process. For example, during investigations, interrogation of suspects, personal searches, searches of vehicles and premises, and the interception of correspondence and communications. Police Officers must refrain from any action that can be interpreted as aiming to extract a statement from an arrested or accused person which therefore cannot be said to have been given of his or her free will. They must not rely on confessions as primary evidence to solve crime, because it has been established that torture or pressure on the suspect to compel him or her to testify can result in a false confession, given by the suspect in order to prevent further torture or pressure. Also, the officers need to be vigilant about the fact that the phenomenon of false confessions is not limited to situations where people have been subjected to torture or illtreatment. There have been instances wherein individuals tend to confess to crimes they did not commit, often for complex personal and psychological reasons. 60 Manual on Human Rights for Police Officers
