Скачать или смотреть Himachal Pradesh High Court Dismisses 29 Petitions on Arrest Grounds - Prospective Application

Description:
The Himachal Pradesh High Court has dismissed 29 petitions challenging arrests where police failed to provide written grounds of arrest. While petitioners cited the Supreme Court's landmark ruling in Mihir Raji Shah v. State of Maharashtra mandating written communication of arrest grounds, Justice Ajay Mohan Goyal clarified that this directive applies prospectively only. Since all petitioners were arrested before the Supreme Court judgment, they cannot claim illegality based on the new procedural requirements. The court emphasized it was not examining the validity of arrests under Article 22, but dismissed petitions solely on the ground that the SC ruling operates for future arrests only. This case highlights the important legal principle of prospective versus retrospective application of judicial pronouncements.
