In a crucial decision, the Supreme Court has ruled that the requirement to supply the grounds of arrest in writing to the accused applies to cases registered under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act 1967.

The Court reaffirmed its previous judgment in Pankaj Bansal v Union of India and stated that the communication of grounds of arrest is a constitutional safeguard. This decision holds significant implications for the protection of individual rights in cases involving the UAPA.
