          HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MUKESH RAJPUROHIT

Order

20/08/2025

S.B. Criminal Misc(Pet.) No. 4027/2025

1. 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 as well as stay

petition are dismissed 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 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. Till the

[2025:RJ-JD:37200] (3 of 6) [CRLMP-4027/2025]

representation is decided, the petitioner shall not be arrested in

connection with FIR No.137/2025 registered at the Police Station

Kuchaman City, District Deedwana-Kuchaman.

4. The offences alleged against the petitioner are under Sections

420, 406 and 120-B of IPC. 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 be at liberty to approach

this Court, if occasion arises.

5. Pending applications, if any, stand disposed of.
