To arrest someone is simply means to deprive such person from his personal liberty which is given by the constitution as a right to all the citizens of our country. Arrest is an exceptional step taken by the police to prevent the further crime. Arrest is not a sweet fruit which is enjoyed by the detainee. Arrest shouldn’t be done as routine manner. The procedure of arrest followed in the India and U.S.A is almost similar. Many guidelines related to arrest are also given by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in various cases such as D.K Basu case[1], Arnesh kumar[2] case etc. The criminal justice system is largely depends on the working of police officials. To reduce the crime and maintain the social order, police force plays an important role. Various amendments were also be made to improve the efficiency of the police and maintain the balance between the individual liberty and social order while police officials exercising the power of arrest. Such power should not be misused by the police officers which is given to them for the safety of the people and to maintain the social order.
