Yes generally, but this is up to the judges discretion. If the offense is particuarly awful then he is under no obligation to deduct the time.

Time spent in remand will NOT be taken in account if the accused is released on bail. This is because there is a 'breakage' of time in remand.
If the accused is in remand all the way till he is sentenced, then he can ask the judge to back date his sentence from the day of his remand.

in most minor cases(according to what judge you have)the time you spend will count as time served.Or it may lead to a suspended sentence
