The First Information Report has been lodged by respondent No. 3, which has been registered as Case Crime/FIR No.335 of 2017, under
Sections 147, 504 & 353 of IPC and under Section 26 of the Indian Forest Act, at Police Station- Gadarpur, District- Udham Singh Nagar
implicating the present petitioners. Apprehending their arrest, the petitioners have approached this Court for relief.
Considering the overall facts and circumstances of the case as well as the nature of offence and since the maximum punishment in these offences
is seven years or less, a limited interference is called for in the matter.

the full cooperation of the petitioners in the investigation, but as far as the arrest of the petitioners are concerned, the same may be done only under
the parameters as framed under Section 41 and Section 41A of Cr.P.C. as well as following the guidelines given by the Hon''ble Apex Court in the
case of Arnesh Kumar Vs. State of Bihar & another, reported in (2014) 8 SCC 273 .
It is further made clear that this order shall remain operative till the filing of charge sheet, in case of that event.
