I was taken into custody by the police on May 20th, 2015, around 11 AM. The same day, a local magistrate ordered me to be kept in judicial custody. I arrived at the sub-jail by 7:10 PM. On May 21st, the Additional District Judge granted me bail, and the release orders were issued by the magistrate on May 22nd. I was finally released around 5:20 PM that day. Considering this timeline, how much of this period would be considered judicial custody for the purpose of suspending me from my government job?
As per Indian law, judicial custody starts from the time the magistrate orders it. In your case, this was on May 20th, 11 AM. You were released on May 22nd, 5:20 PM. Therefore, the period between 11 AM on May 20th and 5:20 PM on May 22nd would be considered judicial custody for the purpose of suspension.
