Mr. Abhishek Verma, Advocate for the petitioner, through video conferencing. 2. Ms. S.B. Dobhal, B.H. for the State. 3. By means of this writ petition, petitioner has impugned FIR No.0125 of 2025 dated 17.05.2025, under Sections 115, 351(2) and 352 of B.N.S. 2023, registered with Police Station I.T.I., District Udham Singh Nagar. 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 offence under Sections 115, 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 petitioner. 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 B.N.S.S. Act, 2023 (under Section 41-A of Cr.P.C.) 6. Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed-off. 7. Pending application, if any, stands disposed of accordingly. (Pankaj Purohit, J.) 09.06.2025 SK
