JUDGMENT

1. Present petition has been filed under Articles 226 & 227 of the Constitution of India read with Section 528 of Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 whereby petitioner, inter alia, prays that his arrest be declared unconstitutional, being in gross violation of Article 21, 22 (1) & Article 14 of the Constitution of India.

2. Petitioner, who was arrested on 07.02.2024 in FIR No. 126/2024 registered at Police Station Welcome under Sections 302/307/34 of Indian Penal Code, 1860, filed an application seeking grant of regular bail before the learned Trial Court. Such application was dismissed on 03.12.2025 and he also assails such order in the present proceedings.

3. However, the primary argument raised before us is that since the

grounds of arrest were never communicated to the petitioner, till the filing of the chargesheet, in view of the specific pronouncements of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, the arrest is illegal. He relies upon Pankaj Bansal v. Union of India (2024) 7 SCC 576 (decided on 03.10.2023), Prabir Purkayastha v. State (NCT of Delhi) (2024) 8 SCC 254 (decided on 15.05.2024), Vihaan Kumar v. State of Haryana (2025) 5 SCC 799 (decided on 07.02.2025) and Mihir Rajesh S
