Arrest under Section 35(1)(b) is permissible only when the officer has reason to believe and records the statutory necessity for custody; it is not automatic. Where a notice is issued and complied with, arrest requires recorded reasons showing continued necessity. Where notice is not complied with, arrest still depends on material justifying custody rather than routine discretion. en-us Thu, 15 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 05 Jun 2026 14:50:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=786318 In offences punishable with imprisonment up to seven years under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, notice under Section 35(3) is the ordinary course and should normally be issued before arrest.
