In Brief
In this 2021 case, a petitioner challenged his arrest for allegedly vague offences under the Criminal Procedure Code. The Supreme Court found that the arresting officers failed to follow the mandatory procedural safeguards laid down in Arnesh Kumar v. State of Bihar & Anr., particularly under Section 41 CrPC, before effecting the arrest. The Court held the arrest procedurally defective, stayed the High Court's judgment, granted notice on both petitions, and released the petitioner on interim bail pending final hearing. Production warrants were also stayed."
