Order

08/07/2025

1. By way of filing the present criminal misc. petition under

Section 528 BNSS, the petitioner has prayed for the following

reliefs:-

"It is, therefore, prayed that this misc. petition of the petitioner may kindly be allowed and the impugned FIR No. 167/2025 dated 09.06.2022 registered at PS Padampur District Sri Ganganagar may kindly be quashed.

Any other relief, which this Hon'ble Court may deem just and proper in the facts and circumstance of the case, may kindly be passed in favour of the petitioner."

2. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the

material as made available to this Court as well as gone through

the niceties of the matter.

3. Having perused the impugned FIR, this Court prima facie

finds that the offences alleged to have been committed by the

petitioner are either triable by a court of Magistrate and/or do not

[2025:RJ-JD:29461] (2 of 2) [CRLMP-5217/2025]

contain the maximum punishment of more than seven years, and

keeping in mind the provisions contained in Section 35 BNSS

(Section 41, 41-A Cr.P.C.) as well as the judgment passed by the

Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Arnesh Kumar vs. State

of Bihar, reported in AIR 2014 SC 2756, the dictum of which

squarely applies mutatis mutandis to the present case, it is

directed that in case, the arrest of the petitioner is found to be

absolutely necessary by the Investigating Agencies, instead of

affecting the arrest of the petitioner at once, a prior notice of 20

days shall be given to him so that he may exercise his rights.

Needless to say that the petitioner is not precluded from raising

his grievance before the trial Court at an appropriate stage.

4. With the aforesaid direction, the misc. petition filed under

Section 528 BNSS (482 Cr.P.C.) as well as stay application are

disposed of.
