Editing Arrest warrant (section)

== India ==
Courts can issue arrest warrant against an individual under Section 72 of [[Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita|Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023]]. Under bailable arrest warrant a person could execute a [[bail bond]] with sufficient sureties for his attendance before the Court at a specified time and thereafter until otherwise directed by the Court, the officer to whom the warrant is directed shall take such security and shall release such person from custody. A non bailable arrest warrant is usually issued for [[Cognisable offence|serious offences]] and if there exist a suspicion that the accused will abscond. Section 74 and 75 of [[Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita|BNSS]] provide the power to the [[Chief Judicial Magistrate Court|Chief Judicial Magistrate]] or a [[Magistrate|Magistrate of the first class]] may direct a warrant to any person within his local jurisdiction for the arrest of any escaped convict, proclaimed offender or of any person who is accused of a non-bailable offence and is evading arrest. Such person shall acknowledge in writing the receipt of the warrant and shall execute it if the person for whose arrest it was issued, is in, or enters on, any land or other property under his charge. Section 78 of BNSS protects the rights of the arrested by making it compulsory for the police to present the arrested person before a magistrate within 24 hours of the arrest of the person.<ref>{{cite web | title=Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita | url=https://www.indiacode.nic.in/bitstream/123456789/20099/1/a2023-46.pdf}}</ref>
