When arrested on reasonable suspicion, you can be held for a maximum of 48 hours or 96 hours in case of terrorism.

If you already have official status of an accused, you may be arrested based on confinement order of a judge. In this case you can be held by the police for a maximum of 24 hours.
A request of the police for detention on remand will be decided by a pre-trial judge. If you have been arrested at the time your court trial commences, you must be brought in front of the court that is examining your case and the president of court's senate will decide.
