It was argued that they did not abuse the complainant or disrupt government work. It was further contended that the complaint was lodged seven days after the alleged incident, suggesting it was an afterthought. The State opposed anticipatory bail, stating that notice under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001519712\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">41-A<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726935\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Criminal Procedure Code, 1973<\/a> (CrPC) has been issued to the appellants. The State argued that there is no imminent arrest, as the police do not intend to apprehend the appellants.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court observed that the appellants were given notice under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001519712\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">41-A<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726935\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CrPC<\/a> by the Investigating Officer, directing them to cooperate in the investigation. Considering the circumstances of the present case, the Court referred to Supreme Court&#8217;s directions in <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Arnesh Kumar<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">State of Bihar<\/span>, (2014) 8 SCC 273, emphasising the need to avoid unnecessary arrests. The Court concluded that since the Investigating Officer does not intend to arrest the appellants, filing the appeal for anticipatory bail is unnecessary.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court disposed of the appeal application and directed the Investigating Officer to comply with the directions issued in Arnesh Kumar (Supra) regarding arrests and bail. The appellants are instructed to appear before the trial court at the time of filing the charge sheet and to cooperate in the investigation. Non-cooperation may lead to action in accordance with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726935\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CrPC<\/a> and Supreme Court&#8217;s directions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Brajesh Pandey v.
