Though the learned counsel for the petitioner filed the present petition for quashing of investigation in the above Crime, he restricts his prayer seeking a direction to the Investigating agency to follow the procedure prescribed under Section 41-A Cr.P.C. and the guidelines prescribed by the Apex Court in Arnesh Kumar v. State of Bihar and another1. At this stage, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor would submit that notice under Section 41-A Cr.P.C. has already been issued to the petitioner.

Since the petitioner has already been issued notice under Section 41-A IPC, the petitioner is directed to comply with the said notice as per the directions of the Apex Court as set out in Arnesh Kumar case (supra). However, no coercive steps shall be taken against the petitioner till filing of the final report. 4.
