Learned counsel for the petitioners after arguing the matter for sometime, requested this Court to direct the police to follow the procedure laid down under Section 41-A of Cr.P.C and guidelines formulated by the Apex Court in " Rajesh Sharma v. State of U.P.1" Acceding to the request of the learned counsel for the petitioners, without touching the merits, I find that it is a fit case to issue direction to the police to follow the procedure laid down under Section 41-A of Cr.P.C and the guidelines issued by the Apex Court in " Rajesh Sharma v. State of U.P." (referred supra). Accordingly, police concerned are directed to adhere to the guidelines issued in " Rajesh Sharma v. State of U.P." (referred supra).

With the above direction, the criminal petition is disposed of. Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed in consequence.
