A court has ruled that an arrest is illegal if the grounds for the arrest are not communicated to the accused in a language they understand. The requirement for written grounds of arrest to be provided in an understandable language appears to be a universal requirement, applicable to all offenses. The ruling emphasizes the importance of due process in arrests, with some reports indicating that the supreme court made this ruling, while others mention the karnataka high court or bombay high court in relation to specific cases.
