What is the maximum permissible police custody period
under BNSS when an accused is arrested in a case punishable with death, life imprisonment, or imprisonment not less than 10 years?ÂSolution
BNSS retains the provision (similar to CrPC) that police custody can extend up to 15 days from the first date of remand by the Magistrate for serious offences. This is governed under Section 187(2) of BNSS. However, the 15 days need not be continuous and can be granted in parts within the 15-day limit. The total custody (judicial + police) period for completing investigation is 90 days for serious offences.
