Q1. "The Supreme Court held that 'non supply of grounds of arrest in writing to the arrestee prior to or immediately after arrest would not vitiate such arrest on the grounds of non-compliance with the provisions of Section 50 of the CrPC, 1973 (Now, Section 47 of BNSS, 2023) provided the said grounds are supplied in writing within a reasonable time and in any case two hours prior to the production of the arrestee before the magistrate for remand proceedings.' in which of the following recent cases?"

1. Mihir Rajesh Shah v. State of Maharashtra and another, (2025)

2. Mehra Shah v. State of UP and another, (2025)

3.  Rajesh Kumar v. State of WB and another, (2025)

4.  None of the above

Answer: Mihir Rajesh Shah v. State of Maharashtra and another, (2025)
This is the actual Supreme Court ruling (2025 INSC 1288), decided on 6 November 2025 by CJI B.R. Gavai and Justice A.G. Masih. The Supreme Court held that the grounds of arrest must be communicated in writing to the arrestee in the language he/she understands, and set the "two-hour prior to remand production" benchmark described in the question. The other case names appear to be distractors/fictional variants of the same real case.

Section 311, CrPC gives the Court very wide discretionary power at any stage of an inquiry, trial, or other proceeding — it may summon any person as a witness, examine any person in attendance (even if not summoned), or recall and re-examine any person already examined, if their evidence appears essential to the just decision of the case. 

This covers all three scenarios listed: recalling an already-examined witness, summoning a cited-but-not-yet-produced witness, and summoning an entirely new, uncited witness.
