SL. No. Date Office Notes, reports, orders or proceedings or directions and Registrar’s order with Signatures COURT’S OR JUDGE’S ORDERS WPCRL No.745 of 2025 Hon’ble Pankaj Purohit, J. Mr. Prem Kaushal, Advocate for the petitioner. 2. Mr. B.C. Joshi, A.G.A. for the State. 3. By means of this writ petition, petitioner has impugned FIR No.0186 of 2025 dated 16.06.2025, under Sections 115(2), 352 and 74 of B.N.S. 2023, registered at Police Station Kichha, 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 offences under Sections 115(2), 352 and 74 of B.N.S. 2023 carries a punishment less than 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 measure 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.) 16.07.2025 SK
