The basic grievance of the petitioner in the present petition
is that he was not subjected to due treatment required under law by
the police, when they investigated a dispute he had with his
neighbour. His contention was that the law, as settled in Arnesh
Kumar Vs. State of Bihar & Another, (2014) 8 SCC 73 regarding
arrest, has been totally flouted. The further contention was that
the high-handedness of the police was such that the petitioner was
subjected to physical abuse, both at the spot as well as later in
the Police Station.
2. In support of such argument, learned counsel for the
petitioner has drawn the attention of this Court to the e-mail sent
by his brother at 11:24 AM on the same day as also to the concerned
Superintendent of Police, where it is alleged that the police had
arrested his brother. Learned counsel further reiterated that there
was physical abuse at the Police Station, only because an e-mail
was sent to the higher officials, as a knee jerk reaction, a First
Information Report was lodged against him two hours later at
01:30PM, at which time the petitioner is said to have been taken
into custody.
