Order
18/08/2025
1. After arguing for some time, learned counsel for the
petitioners does not want to press the instant criminal misc.
petition. However, he seeks liberty for the petitioners to submit a
representation to the concerned Superintendent of Police with
appropriate directions to decide the same and issue necessary
instructions to the concerned Investigating Officer.
2. Accordingly, the instant criminal misc. petition is disposed of
as not pressed with liberty to the petitioners to submit a detailed
representation to the concerned Superintendent of Police averring
therein all the grounds which have been raised in this petition
within a period of 07 days from the date of receipt of a copy of
this order.
3. In the event, the representation is submitted, the concerned
Superintendent of Police is directed to minutely and objectively

[2025:RJ-JD:36773] (2 of 2) [CRLMP-5288/2025]
consider the contents of the same and thereafter, issue necessary
instructions to the Investigating Officer. All the relevant
documents with the representation shall also be taken into
consideration. The representation shall be decided within a period
of 30 days from the date of receipt of the same. The parties will
be at liberty to approach this Court again, if grievance arises.
4. Till 30 days from the date of filing of representation, the
petitioners shall not be arrested in connection with FIR
No.68/2025, registered at the Police Station Ghasa, District
Udaipur.
5. The offences alleged against the petitioners are under
Section 420, 406 and 120-B of the IPC. Thus, the provisions
contained under Section 35 of BNSS (Sections 41 and 41A of the
CrPC) are applicable mutatis mutandis and the judgment rendered
by Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Arnesh Kumar v. State
of Bihar [AIR 2014 SC 2756] applies squarely in the present
case, therefore, it is deemed appropriate to direct the
investigating officer that in the event, the offences are found to be
proved and the arrest of the petitioners is absolutely necessary,
then instead of affecting arrest at once, a prior notice of 15 days
shall be given to the petitioners. Further the petitioners shall also
be at liberty to raise all permissible objections and issues before
the trial court at the appropriate stage of proceedings
6. Stay petition also stands disposed of.
