Question 3 of 5
3. Question
Consider the following statements.
- Unlike judicial custody, police custody requires the accused to be furnished before the magistrate in 24 hours.
- In judicial custody the investigating authority can interrogate a person, while in police custody officials need the permission of the court for questioning.
Which of the above statements is/are incorrect?
Correct
Solution: b)
Judicial custody means that the person detained by a judicial magistrate is lodged in central or state prison. In some cases, investigation agencies may not seek police custody immediately and one of the reasons can be the judicious use of the maximum of 15 days at their disposal. In some cases, courts may directly remand a person to judicial custody, if the court concludes that there is no need for police custody or extension of police custody.
The judicial custody can extend up to 60 or 90 days as a whole, depending upon the maximum punishment prescribed for the offense. According to Section 436A of CrPC, a person in judicial custody, who has served half the maximum punishment that can be given for an offense, can apply for default bail, if their trial is pending.
How is judicial custody different from police custody?
Police custody refers to when a person is detained in a police station or lock-up when he is believed to have committed a crime. However, unlike judicial custody, police custody requires the accused to be furnished before the magistrate in 24 hours.
In police custody, the investigating authority can interrogate a person while in judicial custody, officials need the permission of the court for questioning. In police custody, the person has the right to legal counsel, and the right to be informed of the grounds which the police have to ensure. In judicial custody, the person is under the responsibility of the magistrate, while the Prison Manual comes into the picture for the routine conduct of the person.

Question 5 of 5

- The ICC has universal territorial jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute crimes of international concern.
- India is a member of the court.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct
Solution: a)
Only statement 1 is correct.
- The International Criminal Court (ICC), located in The Hague, is the court of last resort for prosecution of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.
- It is the first permanent, treaty based, international criminal court established to help end impunity for the perpetrators of the most serious crimes of concern to the international community.
- Its founding treaty, the Rome Statute, entered into force on July 1, 2002.
- Funding: Although the Court’s expenses are funded primarily by States Parties, it also receives voluntary contributions from governments, international organisations, individuals, corporations and other entities.
Composition and voting power:
- The Court’s management oversight and legislative body, the Assembly of States Parties, consists of one representative from each state party.
- Each state party has one vote and “every effort” has to be made to reach decisions by consensus. If consensus cannot be reached, decisions are made by vote.
- The Assembly is presided over by a president and two vice-presidents, who are elected by the members to three-year terms.

The U.S. government has never been a member of the court.
Some countries have neither signed nor acceded to the Rome Statute. Some of them, including China and India, are critical of the Court.
