04 August 2013 In the given problem, arrest is required to be made in connection with a non-cognizable offence for which warrant is necessary. Therefore action of Sub Inspector is not valid. Mr. X cannot be legally arrested without warrant. The sub-inspector cannot arrest Mr. X on the basis of requisition alone.

Section 41(1)(i) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 provides that police can arrest a person without warrant for whose arres't a requisition is received from other police station only when the offence, in connection of which requisition is made, is such for which arrest warrant is not required.
