A single-judge bench of Allahabad High Court while hearing a Criminal Misc Anticipatory Bail Application under Sections 438 CrPC filed by Rahul Gandhi said that arrest should be made only if it is necessary for interrogation in police custody for investigation.
The Allahabad High Court on January 06 held that after the lodging of FIR, the arrest can be made by the police at will and that there is no definite period fixed for the police to arrest an accused.
