Article 120

De l'instruction préparatoire

Criminal Procedure
Titre II: De la procédure criminelle (On Criminal Procedure)
Chapitre II: De l'instruction préparatoire (On the Preliminary Investigation)

Si le prévenu a été arrêté et transféré au ban du roi, le juge d'instruction procédera à son interrogatoire dans les vingt-quatre heures de la remise qui lui aura été faite des procès verbaux, actes et effets dont parle l'article 104.

Life lesson: Once the case file arrives from the parish, the investigating judge has just twenty-four hours to interrogate the detained suspect — no leaving people sitting in jail without questioning.
Notes: 24-hour interrogation deadline: triggered by receipt of Art. 104 materials (procès verbaux, actes, effets). Protects detained prévenu from prolonged pre-interrogation detention. Clock starts at remise of documents, not at arrest. Habeas corpus analog ensuring prompt judicial attention.
