Under Section 41A of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, there is a provision for a notice of appearance before a police officer. This provision was inserted through an amendment in 2010 to provide certain safeguards to individuals and reduce unnecessary arrests. Section 41A(1) of the CrPC states that when a police officer receives information about the commission of a cognizable offense that is punishable with imprisonment for a term of up to seven years, he/she may issue a notice to the person against whom the information has been received. The notice under Section 41A of the Cr.P.C would require that person to appear before the police officer for investigation at a specified place and time. Offenses such as theft, cheating, forgery, assault, or other offenses with a maximum punishment of up to seven years of imprisonment fall under this provision.
