About — Kedar Nath case 1962
The Kedar Nath case (1962) is a Supreme Court judgment that limited police power to arrest without a warrant, ruling that such arrests require reasonable suspicion of a cognizable offence. The ruling, which reinforced Article 21’s protection of personal liberty, led the Court to quash Kedar Nath’s arrest because the police lacked concrete evidence of an imminent crime.
