Why not then make it specific? I would welcome the substitution of the words “as soon as may be” by the word “immediately”. My Friend, Shrimati Purnima Banerjee, has also moved an amendment to the same article, where she wishes to substitute the words “as soon as may be” by “not less than fifteen days”. I think fifteen days is far too long a period. I think twenty-four hours would be the best. In any case if there is any hitch in informing the arrestee of the grounds of his arrest, I think in no case should it exceed more than a week.
