Under the Code of Criminal Procedure, no person who has been arrested by a police officer shall be discharged except on his own bond, or on bail, or under the special orders of a Magistrate. Discharge upon the completion of trial is *not* a condition for discharge by a police officer as per the specified sections dealing with police arrest procedures.

– Section 59 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 specifies the circumstances under which a person arrested without warrant shall be discharged by a police officer. These are: on execution of his bond, on bail, or under the special order of a Magistrate.
– Discharge upon completion of trial is a judicial process that occurs after the trial proceedings are over, resulting in acquittal or conviction. This is not a decision or action taken by the arresting police officer regarding the initial custody.

– Sections like 57 (person arrested not to be detained for more than twenty-four hours) and 59 deal with the initial custody and release by the police.
– The option “upon the completion of trial” describes a judicial outcome (acquittal), not a method of discharge by the police after arrest and before being produced in court or remanded.
