Central Government Act
Section 6(b) in The Indian Penal Code, 1860
(b) A, a police- officer, without warrant, apprehends Z who has committed murder. Here A is not guilty of the offence of wrongful confinement; for he was bound by law to apprehend Z, and therefore the case falls within the general exception which provides that" nothing is an offence which is done by a person who is bound by law to do it".
