The court held that the arrest of the petitioner was legal and justified. The arrest was made with a court order u/s 41(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, and not without a warrant u/s 41(1). The court found reasonable suspicion and credible information about the petitioner's involvement in the alleged offense. The prosecution explained the reasons for not proceeding immediately against the petitioner after the FIR, and no malice could be inferred from their actions. The petitioner's influential position and the witnesses' reluctance to testify before his arrest were also considered. The court concluded that the arrest was not without justifiable reasons or illegal and dismissed the petition.
