Which court after an arrest in Delhi?

When someone is arrested, they must be produced before a magistrate within 24 hours — in the court complex tied to the police station holding the case. Type the police station below to see the court, the likely jail, and today's cause list.

How this works

For court purposes Delhi is divided into eleven districts, each feeding one of six court complexes: Tis Hazari (Central, West), Karkardooma (East, North-East, Shahdara), Rohini (North, North-West), Saket (South, South-East), Dwarka (South-West) and Patiala House (New Delhi) — with Rouse Avenue handling CBI and MP/MLA matters. Metro and Railway police stations have their own entries in this tool. If the person is remanded to judicial custody, they are lodged in the Tihar, Rohini or Mandoli prison complexes, subject to prison administration allocation.

Special Cell matters are produced at Patiala House. Other specialised units (Crime Branch, EOW) produce in the complex tied to the case — when in doubt, ask.

Jurisdiction mapping corrected against district-wise court jurisdiction records on 9 July 2026 and may change with court notifications. This tool is general information, not legal advice.

Someone in your family has been arrested?

The first 24 hours follow a strict legal clock — production, remand, bail. Get clear guidance before the production hearing.
