3. This Court, upon a perusal of the case file and the impugned

contained in Section 35 BNSS (Sections 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

Agency, 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 ventilating his grievances before this Court or trial

Court, if occasion so arises, at an appropriate stage.

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

Section 528 BNSS as well as stay application are disposed of.
