Parminder Singh v. State of Punjab and Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
A convicted petitioner, having completed his sentence, filed a petition to stop police from summoning him for surveillance without a formal case. The High Court noted that no case registered against him and directed police to issue a Section 41-A Cr.P.C. notice before obtaining his presence.
What did the court decide?
Held Section 41-A Cr.P.C. notice must be given before police require petitioner's presence; no direction issued against police as no case registered.
