61.-(1) Any police officer may take into custody without warrant-
(a) any person who within his view commits any of the offences mentioned in the Schedule to this Law if the police officer does not know and cannot ascertain his name and address;
(b) any person who has committed or whom he has reason to believe to have committed any of the offences mentioned in the Schedule to this Law if the officer has reasonable grounds for believing that that person will abscond or does not know and cannot ascertain his name and address.
(2) Where, under the powers conferred by this section a police officer arrests any person without warrant, an officer not below the rank of inspector or officer in charge of the police station to which the person is brought shall, unless in his belief the release of the person on bail would tend to defeat the ends of justice or to cause injury or danger to the child against whom the offence is alleged to have been committed, release the person arrested on his entering into such recognizance with or without sureties as may in the judgment of the officer of police be required to secure his attendance upon the hearing of the charge.
