The Apex Court, while setting aside High Court\u2019s order, made an observation that a person could not be summoned and detained in absence of a crime registered against him as the same would be violative of natural principles of justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the instant case, the petitioner first approached Andhra Pradesh High Court and sought for relief against any arrest in absence of a notice under Section 41A of Code of Criminal Procedure. Earlier, his wife had lodged a complaint under Section 498A of Indian Penal Code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even after the High Court passed an order in his favor, he had been forcibly taken and detained by the police officers. In furtherance to this, he filed a contempt case alleging the non-compliance of High Court order<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The police officer<\/a> who arrested him had been held guilty of contempt and later sentenced to three months of imprisonment. However, the same had been set aside by the division bench<\/a> on the ground that no crime had been registered. The bench also placed reliance on the directions issued in the case of Arnesh Kumar v State of Bihar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bench backed its order by observing that in absence of crime record, the question of arresting the writ petitioner would not arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Supreme Court, while hearing the appeal, observed that there had also been clear cut violation of directions issued in D.K. Basu v State of West Bengal. The bench reiterated the directions issued in the aforesaid cases and held that prima facie<\/a> reason would be violation of basic principles instead of no crime being registered against the petition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bench, however, modified the sentence awarded by the court from three months to 15 days of the responsible police officers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
