Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
D.K. Basu v State of West Bengal laid down arrest and detention safeguards, including identification of arresting personnel, an arrest memo, information to a relative or friend, custody records and medical safeguards. The decision concerns protection against custodial abuse.
Current law: Many safeguards were subsequently incorporated into criminal procedure. BNSS sections 36–38 and 48 include identification/arrest records, designated-officer information, access to an advocate during interrogation and notification of arrest, within their respective terms.
