What happens after 41A?
After your appearance on 41A the police may have closed their investigation or not enough evidence to charge you. Or they may be investigating further to implicate you. 8 Oct 2023
As per the recent Supreme Court verdict, 41A notice is mandatory before arresting the accused, hence you have been served with the notice and as per the law you cannot be arrested, only after the interrogation of Section 41A, if the police is not satisfied can arrest accused later, but in case of one of my client, he was illegally arrested in connection with a 498A Case when he went to the Singur PS for compliance of the 41A, hence it is always advisable to take the assistance of a lawyer while going to the PS, and also get the anticipatory bail accordingly. All the best. Regards
