In the context of a uniformed force like the CISF, “Force Custody” typically refers to the arrest or confinement of a member of the force by the force authorities themselves for disciplinary or legal reasons.
Force custody is an internal disciplinary or punitive measure applied to members of the force, distinct from the custody of civilians or goods.
Provisions related to force custody are usually outlined in the act or rules governing the specific force (like the CISF Act, 1968). It allows the force to detain its own members under specific circumstances, subject to rules and limitations.
