This Court has carefully considered the judgment cited by learned counsel for the petitioner. It is provided that the petitioner-husband should be arrested only when the Investigating Officer has reason to believe, on the basis of information and material collected, that he has committed an offence. Before making arrest, the Investigating Officer is required to satisfy himself that the arrest is necessary for one or more purposes envisaged by Sub-Clauses (a) to (e) of Clause (1) of Section 41 of Cr.P.C. It will not be based upon the ipse dixit of the Police Officer. In other words, the petitioner shall be arrested only when the conditions stipulated in Sub- Clauses (a) to (e) of Clause (1) of Section 41 of Cr.P.C. are satisfied.

Misc. Application no. 7807 of 2014, accordingly, stands disposed of.
