Remand order granted against you does not automatically render you guilty of any crimes. Remand is not a form of punishment but merely to assist the investigating officer(IO) in his investigation. The IO will not be able to keep you longer than neccesary and in the end the IO either need to ensure that the Prosecuting Officer (PO) or Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) charge you or release you. You and your family should be aware of the remand proceedings procedure thoroughly so as to ensure justice is seen to be done to both parties. The fact that the IO is busy with other cases and did nothing to investigate will become a factor for the Magistrate in granting a shorter remand period or even ordered you to be released by the end of the day. There are other valid justifications under the Criminal Procedure Code for the Magistrate to ensure the suspects is not being detained longer than neccesary.
