Order
11/08/2025 The instant misc. application has been filed on behalf of the
petitioner for correction in the order dated 05.08.2025 passed by
this Court in S.B. Criminal Misc. Petition No.5984/2025
(Vikram Gosawami Vs. State of Rajasthan & Anr.).
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner
had approached this Court by way of filing the aforementioned
criminal misc. petition for quashing of FIR; however, this Court
vide order dated 05.08.2025 dismissed that petition as not
pressed while directing the petitioner to file a representation
before the concerned Superintendent of Police within 30 days as
well as directing the Investigating Agency to give 15 days' prior
notice before affecting the arrest of the petitioner, as per the
provision of Section 35 of BNSS (Sections 41 and 41-A of Cr.P.C.).
[2025:RJ-JD:35813] (2 of 3) [CRLMA-491/2025]
It is submitted that due inadvertence, an incorrect direction for
fair and impartial investigation was typed in the said order. Thus,
it is prayed that the order may kindly be rectified and necessary
directions be issued accordingly.
Having considered the submissions advanced and on perusal
of the order in which correction is sought, it is evident that an
inadvertent error arose in the order dated 05.08.2025, whereby
an incorrect direction for fair and impartial investigation was
inserted, instead of the intended direction permitting the
petitioner to file a representation before the concerned
Superintendent of Police.
Accordingly, the instant application is allowed.
The order dated 05.08.2025 passed by this Court in S.B.
Criminal Misc. Petition No. 5984/2025 (Vikram Goswami
vs. State of Rajasthan & Anr.) stands rectified and the correct
order shall now read as follows: :-
"1. After arguing for some time, learned counsel for the petitioner does not want to press the instant criminal misc. petition. However, he seeks liberty for the petitioner to submit a representation to the concerned Superintendent of Police with appropriate directions to decide the same and issue necessary instructions to the concerned Investigating Officer.
2. Accordingly, the instant criminal misc. petition is disposed of as not pressed with liberty to the petitioner to submit a detailed representation to the concerned Superintendent of Police averring therein all the grounds which have been raised in this petition within a period of 07 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
3. In the event, the representation is submitted, the
[2025:RJ-JD:35813] (3 of 3) [CRLMA-491/2025]
concerned Superintendent of Police is directed to minutely and objectively consider the contents of the same and thereafter, issue necessary instructions to the Investigating Officer. All the relevant documents with the representation shall also be taken into consideration. The representation shall be decided within a period of 30 days from the date of receipt of the same. The parties will be at liberty to approach this Court again, if grievance arises.
4. Till 30 days from the date of filing of representation, the petitioner shall not be arrested in connection with FIR No.194/2025, registered at the Police Station Sardarshahar, District Churu.
5. The offences alleged against the petitioner is under Sections 74, 85, 89, 316(2) of the BNS. Thus, the provisions contained under Section 35 of BNSS (Sections 41 and 41A of the CrPC) are applicable mutatis mutandis and the judgment rendered by Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Arnesh Kumar v. State of Bihar [AIR 2014 SC 2756] applies squarely in the present case, therefore, it is deemed appropriate to direct the Investigating Officer that in the event, the offences are found to be proved and the arrest of the petitioner is absolutely necessary, then instead of affecting arrest at once, a prior notice of 15 days shall be given to the petitioner. Further the petitioner shall also be at liberty to raise all permissible objections and issues before the trial court at the appropriate stage of proceedings
6. Stay petition also stands disposed of."
The Registry is directed to delete the earlier order dated
05.08.2025 from the official website of this Court.
