LAW FOR ALL

compensation for arrest - the prayer of the appellant has been, that her detention being illegal, she deserved to be adequately compensated. the travel time between Bhubaneswar and Banapur is about three hours. Accordingly, after having detained the appellant at Bhunbaneswar, she was produced before the Court of Judicial Magistrate First Class, Banapur at 7:00 PM on 16.1.2010. If the travel time is taken into consideration, it is apparent that it would be unjust for the appellant to contend, that she was produced before the concerned Court well after 24 hours of her arrest.the arrest of the appellant was not unauthorized, since she had been arrested well before sunset. We are also satisfied in affirming the reasons recorded by the High Court, that the detention of the appellant did not substantially exceed 24 hours i.e., after her arrest and before her production before the Judicial Magistrate First Class, Banapur. In view of the aforesaid conclusions, the claim of the appellant for compensation for unauthorized arrest and detention is clearly unwarranted. We, therefore, hereby confirm the order passed by the High Court declining compensation to the appellant. 11. For the reasons recorded hereinabove, we find no merit in the instant appeal. The same is, accordingly, dismissed.
