Bail was allowed on merit and on consideration of everything. We are asking for immediate release. They are playing w fraud with criminal process: Gupta

This is malafide arrest. They are asking for police custody for four days for what? : Gupta

They want to negate the order of bail.. how is that possible: Gupta

We are a country governed by Rule of law. There is no question of remand. This is crime branch in both the cases. Why did they not arrest me before : Gupta

No, no they arrested him on April 13 : Court

We arrested on April 17 : Investigating Officer

I arranged for VC. It was between 1-1:30..order was communicates to us at 10:30 : Gupta

Oh so it was after order : Court

There is a specific categorical direction that there should be a departmental inquiry against such officers.. how can such FIR continue also : Gupta

Adv Jasdeep Dhillon points out the delay in FIR.

Public Prosecutor is not audible clearly.

They did not go to High Court to quash the FIR: Prosecutor

They are not seeking quashing. They are just saying don't give PC remand: Court

It is the prerogative of the investigating agency: Prosecutor

Kya aapko ye ajeeb nahi lagta (arrest after bail) : Court

As far as right to take PC is concerned, law is clear that IO has the right to take PC to do proper investigation: Prosecutor

Article 21 is with reasonable restrictions...: Prosecutor

Need is explained by IO. The law is clear in 167(2). Factual matrix is clear that IO is in need..how can we say this is identical FIR : Prosecutor
