7. Section 46(4) of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 enumerates that a woman shall not be arrested after sunset and before sunrise. However this rule is subject to exceptions, as that provision starts with the phrase “save in exceptional circumstances”, which means the rule is generally applicable but in case any exceptional case arises where immediate arrest is imperative, then this rule shall not be applicable. Exceptional circumstance is not defined in the code, hence that is subjective and no straitjacket formula is there to ascertain if exceptional circumstances exist or not.
