JUDGMENT :
G. Satapathy, J.
1. Since these two bail applications arise out of one and same case record, the same are heard together and disposed of by this common order with the consent of the learned counsel for the parties.
2. These are two bail applications U/S.483 of BNSS by the petitioners for grant of bail in connection with Purushottampur PS Case No.14 of 2025 arising out of GR Case No.14 of 2025 for commission of offences punishable U/Ss. 317(2)/309(6)/111/123 of BNS pending in the Court of learned JMFC, Purushottampur.
2.1 The allegations in brief are that on 04.01.2025 at about 04:45PM, while Kuntala Gouda and Sweety Gouda were going to Purushottampur from their village Chadhiapalli by an auto rickshaw, the driver of the said auto rickshaw took them away towards Rambha area, instead of Purushottampur and threw away them at the road side by spraying some poisonous substance on their nose and taking away some gold ornaments weighing 2 tola gold neckless and 80 Grams silver ornaments, when they become unconscious.

The detention of the petitioners beyond 24 hours without judicial authorization violated their fundamental rights, resulting in illegal arrest.
Non-compliance with the requirement to inform arrestees of grounds for arrest renders the arrest illegal, mandating release on bail.
Non-compliance with Section 47 of BNSS and Article 22(1) of the Constitution vitiates arrest, justifying the grant of bail.
An illegal arrest vitiates the grounds for denying bail, emphasizing the protection of fundamental rights under Articles 21 and 22 of the Constitution.
The right to be informed of the grounds of arrest is fundamental under Article 22(1), and failure to communicate such grounds renders the arrest and subsequent remand illegal.
