The dominant issue was whether the arrest for alleged GST fake-invoice and ITC fraud complied with the mandatory notice requirements under s. 35(3) BNSS. The court found the notice directed appearance at 4:15 PM on a stated date that the IO admitted was erroneous; even assuming the corrected date, the petitioner was arrested earlier the same day around noon, before the scheduled appearance time.
