State of Bihar and another reported in (2014) 8 SCC 273. 6. Since offence under Sections 316(2), 318(4), 351(2) and 352 of B.N.S. 2023 carries a punishment upto seven years, therefore before resorting to any arrest, a prior notice under Section 35(3) of the B.N.S.S., 2023 (under Section 41-A of Cr.P.C.) is necessary to be issued to the petitioners. Hence, it is provided that before taking any coercive measures against the petitioners, the Investigating Officer shall abide by procedure given under Section 35(3) of the B.N.S.S. Act, 2023 (under Section 41-A of Cr.P.C.) 7. Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed-off. 8. Pending application, if any, stands disposed of accordingly. (Pankaj Purohit, J.) 04.06.2025 SK
