Supreme Court Clarifies Travel Time Exclusion in 24-Hour Arrest Deadline

The Supreme Court has ruled on how the 24-hour deadline following an arrest is calculated. According to the verdict, the only time that may be excluded from this period is the duration reasonably needed to travel from the place of arrest to the magistrate's court. The remark addresses the legal meaning of 'arrest' and 'detention' under the constitutional safeguard requiring production before a magistrate within 24 hours. The ruling sets a narrow limit on what delays can be discounted from that deadline. The source article provides only this core point, so further details of the case are not available here.
