By means of the present writ petition, the petitioners have invoked extraordinary jurisdiction of this Court with a prayer to quash the first information report dated 14.11.2018 registered as Case Crime No. 0225 of 2018, under Sections 498-A, 323, 504 and 506 and Section 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition Act, police station Tiwaripur, District Gorakhpur.

It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the petitioners are unnecessarily harassed at the behest of the complainant. If the offence alleged to have been committed by the petitioners be taken in entirety and charges are found to be proved, the petitioners cannot be awarded sentence of more than 7 years. In this view, the arrest of the petitioners should not be effectuated by the police personnel.

The fact of the matter is that till date arrest has not been effectuated and this is mere apprehension of the petitioners that they would be arrested in breach of provisions as contained under Section 41 (1) (b) read with Section 41-A of the Cr.P.C. Once there is statutory provision provided for then it is always expected that the said provisions would be adhered to and in case there is any violation of the same, complaint can also be made before the Magistrate concerned to remedy the situation.

¶9

In view of the above, it is hereby directed that in case arrest of petitioners is to be effectuated in the aforesaid case in which they are wanted, the concerned police personnel should deal with the matter in compliance of the provisions as contained under Section 41 (1) (b) read with Section 41-A of the Cr.P.C.

¶10

It is further provided that if the investigation in this matter has been completed and police report under Section 173 (2) Cr.P.C. has been filed, the petitioners shall not be entitled to any benefit of this order.
