Question
According to Section 187(2) and (3) of the BNSS, 2023,
what is the maximum period for which a Magistrate may authorize detention of an accused in police custody in a case involving a cognizable offence punishable with imprisonment for 7 years?Solution
Section 187(2) provides: "the Magistrate...may...authorise...the detention of the accused in such custody as such Magistrate thinks fit, for a term not exceeding fifteen days in the whole, or in parts ." Section 187(3)(ii) establishes: "no Magistrate shall authorize the detention...for a total period exceeding sixty days, where the investigation relates to any other offence [non-life/death cases], and on the expiry of the said period...the accused person shall be released on bail ." This creates a hard cap on detention, balancing investigative needs with individual rights.
