In Practical Solutions Inc. v. State of Telangana, the Supreme Court held that when a High Court refuses to quash an FIR, it cannot indirectly protect the accused from arrest by directing the police to follow procedures like notice under Section 35(3) BNSS (earlier Section 41A CrPC) without proper reasons. The Court said such relief can be granted only after considering the merits and hearing the complainant. Relying on Neeharika Infrastructure (P) Ltd. v. State of Maharashtra, it set aside the High Court’s order and sent the case back for fresh consideration.
