In a separate legal development, a two-judge Supreme Court bench led by Justice Ujjal Bhuyan and Justice A S Chandurkar issued a judgment that restricts the power of police to detain individuals prior to a formal arrest. Justice Bhuyan ruled that the terms "arrested" and "detained" in Article 22(2) are synonymous and cannot be separated, overruling previous judgments from the Orissa, Madras, and Kerala High Courts.
Justice Bhuyan stated that Article 22 does not permit a buffer zone where liberty is restricted for investigation purposes before a formal arrest, noting that the only time exclusion allowed is for travel to the magistrate's court.
Application deadline and institutional history
The deadline for submitting applications for the programme is November 30, 2026. The University of Hyderabad is an Institution of Eminence that was founded in 1974.
