As per the judgements of Hon'ble Supreme Court, a person cannot be arrested directly in cases of 498A even though it is a cognizable offence. A leading judgement in this regard is Arnesh Kumar vs State of Bihar. You can quote this judgement in your favour before the police as well as the court. As per this judgement first of all a notice under section 41 A is sent to accused and if the person refuses to co-operate then the arrest is made.
