Example 1:
Ravi, a 30-year-old software engineer, is arrested by the police on suspicion of being involved in a cybercrime. During the interrogation, Ravi requests to meet his lawyer, Mr. Sharma. The police allow Mr. Sharma to meet Ravi before the interrogation begins. Mr. Sharma advises Ravi on his rights and the legal implications of the questions he might face. Although Mr. Sharma is not allowed to be present throughout the entire interrogation, he is permitted to meet Ravi at intervals to ensure that Ravi's rights are protected.
Example 2:
Priya, a college student, is taken into custody by the police for allegedly participating in a protest that turned violent. During the interrogation, Priya asks to speak with her lawyer, Ms. Kapoor. The police arrange for Ms. Kapoor to meet Priya in a separate room before the interrogation starts. Ms. Kapoor explains to Priya what to expect during the questioning and advises her on how to respond to certain questions. While Ms. Kapoor cannot stay with Priya during the entire interrogation, she is allowed to check in with Priya periodically to ensure that the interrogation is being conducted fairly and that Priya's rights are not being violated.
