“The officer in charge of the police station to which the person has been brought shall in case if it does not appear practicable to bring that person before an appropriate court within 24 hours after the person has been so taken into custody, inquire into the case and release the person on his executing a bond to appear before a subordinate court at a time and place to be named in the bond,” the bill reads.
