..... happens to be from Uttar Pradesh and we are informed that orders passed specially in Hathras, Ghaziabad and Lucknow Courts seem to be in ignorance of this law. We call upon the counsel for the High Court of Allahabad to bring this to the notice of the Hon ble the Acting Chief Justice so that necessary directions are issued to ensure that such episodes don t occur, including some of the suggestions made by us above. (iii) Another aspect which is sought to be pointed out by learned counsel is that not only is there a duty of the Court but also of the public prosecutors to plead correct legal position before the Court as officers of the Court. Illustrations are being given once again where the submissions of the public prosecutors are to the contrary. In this behalf Mr. Maninder Singh, learned senior counsel submits that even in an earlier order passed by this Court in Aman Preet Singh Vs. C.B.I. Through Director, 2021 SCC Online SC 941 this aspect was flagged as under: 7. Learned counsel for the appellant has brought to our attention to the proceedings recorded on 26.08.2021 before the Magistrate to submit that the highhandedness of the respondent is apparent from the fact tha .....

He referred to the observations in para 10 and 12 as under : 10. More importantly, the appellants apprehend arrest, not at the behest of the CBI but at the behest of the Trial Court. This is for the reason that in some parts of the country, there seems to be a practice followed by Courts to remand the accused to custody, the moment they appear in response to the summoning order The correctness of such a practice has to be tested in an appropriate case. Suffice for the present to note that it is not the CBI which is seeking their custody, but the appellants apprehend that they may be rem .....
