The court also warned that “failure to abide by the said guidelines, shall invite disciplinary action against the said officer as well as the superiors.” Additional Public Prosecutor S V Gavand for the state placed on record the guidelines on ‘law of arrest’, which referred to past Supreme Court verdicts in Arnesh Kumar v State of Bihar (2014) and Satender Kumar Antil v CBI (2021) cases. The DGP order said that if the IO decides to arrest the accused after assessing the adequacy of evidentiary material, he or she shall record for making or even for not making an arrest. The guidelines said that once a decision of arrest is made by the IO, he or she has to comply with the procedure for arresting persons according to the CrPC and past court judgements.
