Vihaan Kumar v. State of Haryana

"The Case That Made Silence During Arrest Unconstitutional"

The Supreme Court ruled that failing to inform an arrested person about the grounds of their arrest violates Article 22(1) of the Constitution, making the arrest illegal. The Court emphasized that telling a family member is NOT sufficient—the arrested person must be told directly. This landmark judgment strengthens individual liberty and sets strict standards for police conduct during arrests.
