– 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.
– 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.
