A Magistrate's power to remand an accused under Section 167 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) primarily involves authorizing the detention of the accused in either police custody or judicial custody. This power is exercised when the police require more than 24 hours to complete the investigation, and the Magistrate must be satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for such detention.
