Abstract: Chapter V of the code of criminal procedure, 1973 deals with the arrest of
persons. Section 41-44 deals with the different circumstances in which police officers,
magistrates and private citizens are authorised to make arrest without warrant and
section 46 deals with the manner in which the arrest can be effected by any such
person. Arrest being the restraint of the liberty of a person it can be effected by
actually contacting or touching the body of such person or by his submission to the
custody of the person making the arrest. An oral declaration of arrest without actual
contact or submission to custody will not amount to an arrest. The submission of
arrest may be by express words or may be indicated by conduct.
In India this is the procedure which is followed to arrest a person and other countries
have their own rules and procedure to arrest a person.
Apart from this, Universal jurisdiction allows states or international organisation to
claim criminal jurisdiction over an accused person regardless of where the alleged
crime was committed and regardless of the accused nationality, country of residence,
or any other relation with the prosecuting entity.
