3. Petitioner is the husband and there is allegation of demand of dowry and torture.
4. The fact which cannot be lost sight of is that the chargesheet has already been submitted in this case. Once the chargesheet has been submitted there is no scope of arrest by the police. Since cognizance has already been taken, this case will fall within category-A as categorized by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Satender Kumar Antil vs. Central Bureau of Investigation & Another, reported in (2021) 10 SCC 773.
5. Thus, the petitioner is directed to appear before the concerned Court, who will pass an appropriate order in terms of the judgment and direction passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of
Satender Kumar Antil vs. Central Bureau of Investigation & Another, reported in (2021) 10 SCC 773.
