During hearing, learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Government Pleader for Home, appearing for respondents, submit that the notice under Section 41-A Cr.P.C., has already been issued to the petitioners.

Since the 1st respondent-police issued a notice under Section 41-A Cr.P.C., to the petitioners, it would be appropriate to direct the petitioners to comply with the said notice as per the directions of the Apex Court in Arnesh Kumar v.

Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions, if any pending in this writ petition, shall stand closed. __________________ JUSTICE G. SRI DEVI 25th November, 2019 sj 1 AIR 2014 SC 2756
