In that view of the matter, the Criminal Petition is disposed of directing the Police to abide by the directions of the Supreme Court, as set out in para Nos.11.2 to 11.6 in Arnesh Kumar (supra), while dealing with the petitioner in relation to Crime No.49 of 2018 on the file of Kodad Town Police Station, Suryapet District.
