Mr. Rajat Mittal, learned counsel for the petitioner. 2. Mr. B.C. Joshi, learned AGA along with Ms. Sweeta Badola and Mr. Vipul Panuli, learned Brief Holder for the State. 3. By means of this writ petition, petitioner has impugned the FIR No.0035 of 2025 under Sections 204 and 308(2) of B.N.S., 2023, registered with Police Station Vikasnagar, District Dehradun. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner has limited his argument to the extent that the investigation agency should comply with the guidelines given in Arnesh Kumar Vs. State of Bihar and another reported in (2014) 8 SCC 273. 5. Since the offence under Sections 204 and 308(2) of B.N.S. carry a punishment maximum to seven years, therefore before resorting to any arrest a prior notice under Section 35(3) of the B.N.S.S., 2023 (under Section 41A of Cr.P.C.) is necessary to be issued to the petitioners. Hence, it is provided that before taking any coercive measures against the petitioner, the Investigating Officer shall abide by procedure given under Section 35(3) of the BNSS Act, 2023 (under Section 41A of 2 Cr.P.C.) 6. Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed of. 7. Pending application, if any, stands disposed of accordingly. (Pankaj Purohit, J.) 17.02.2025 BS
