Inform arrests via e-post, cops told.

  CHENNAI: Now that the telegram is dead, how should police personnel arresting suspects inform the arrest to the relatives or friends of the suspect, as is required by law? Can oral intimation through mobile phone substitute telegraphic message?

Settling these issues which concern the fundamental right to liberty of citizens, the Madras high court has said officers arresting a person should now make use of the e-post system. Pointing out that e-post had come into force from January 30, 2004, a division bench of Justice V Dhanapalan and Justice C T Selvam, in an order on Wednesday, said it's is a credible alternative to telegrams for intimation purposes. If information is to be passed on through mobile or landline phone, the state government must first invite BSNL authorities and device a mechanism to put in place an effective method of communication, including receipt of acknowledgement, the bench said.
