If you are being detained by the Police and are not produced before the Magistrate within 24 hours, it is illegal. You (you friend / relative) have the right to directly approach the High Court and file the writ of Habeas Corpus..

2. Anyway a person can not be detained in custody beyond 24 hours without permission of court.

3. If police does then a writ of habes corpus can be filed in high court.

4. So the family members of the detainee can file writ of habeas corpus in high court to get him released.

An action can be instituted for the damages in civil court  ensuing from false arrest, such as loss of salary while imprisoned, or injury to reputation that results in a pecuniary loss to you.

Also, writ petition can be filed in High Court against the the involved police officials for the illegal detention, wherein you can pray before the court to order enquiry in the matter.

As they did not produce you before the magistrate even after keeping you in custody for 4 days, it amounts to illegal detention. File writ petition and civil suit as advised above.

  1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that you have been arrested and as you have understood they should have produced you before the court of law, but they didn’t do that, reasons best known to them.
  2. Let me tell you that in this type of case, one must use the best option to tighten the police officials before the court.
  3. You should file a Writ petition of Hebeaus Corpus in the Hon’ble High Court as per article 226 of our Constitution seeking immediate produce of him before the court and also seeking answers from the officials reason for not producing you before the court of law.
  4. Believe me they all will be in trouble and you will be taken care off by he High Court.
