When it is necessary for the police to interrogate an accused who is remanded to Judicial custody to take under police custody, the following points shall be borne in mind:
- Taking a person to police custody is only granted when the magistrate finds sufficient reasons. Therefore the police officer in his requisition shall state satisfactory reasons.
- Police custody can be given only within the first fifteen days of remand and that too for a maximum period of 15 days. Police custody can be taken for different remands made in different cases.
- After the period of custody is over, the accused person shall duly be produced before the magistrate within time.
