Mujhe police ka hazir hone ka notice mila hai. Iska kya matlab hai?

Simple answer

Usually iska matlab hai police arrest ki jagah aapse poochhtaachh karna chahti hai. Notice follow karo aur cooperate karte raho, toh police generally bina likhit wajah record kiye us offence mein arrest nahi kar sakti. Notice dekho: accused ki tarah bulaya hai ya witness ki tarah.

Real-life examples

Indore ke dukaandaar Arjun ko cheating ki ek complaint mein BNSS Section 35(3) ka notice mila. Wo di gayi date par lawyer aur notice ke saath gaya, sawaalon ke jawab diye aur ghar aa gaya. Jab bhi bulaya jaaye, use aate rehna hoga.

Tenzin ko WhatsApp par ek 'police notice' PDF mila, jismein case band karne ke liye ₹50,000 maange gaye. Supreme Court keh chuka hai ki aise notice WhatsApp par nahi bheje ja sakte, aur koi asli notice paise nahi maangta. Usne 1930 par report kiya.

Aapko kya karna chahiye?

1Notice dhyaan se padho. Section (35 matlab aap suspect ho; 179 matlab witness), case number, date, time aur jagah note karo.
2Jaane se pehle kisi criminal lawyer ko notice dikhao, khaaskar agar aapka naam accused ke roop mein hai.
3Di gayi date, time aur jagah par notice, apna ID aur maange gaye documents lekar jao.
4Agar us din jaana sach mein possible na ho, toh officer ko wajah ke saath likh kar batao aur nayi date maango. Copy rakho.
5Offence serious ho aur arrest ka darr ho, toh lawyer se anticipatory bail ke baare mein poochho.

Exceptions aur zaroori baatein

Notice ignore karne ya apni pehchaan batane se mana karne par police arrest kar sakti hai, jab tak court ka koi order na roke.
Notice follow karne par bhi police arrest kar sakti hai, agar wo arrest ki solid wajah likh kar record kare.
Paise maangne wala notice, ya sirf WhatsApp ya email par aaya notice, scam ka sign hai. Seedha thane se confirm karo.
