R. for the incident which is said to have taken place five years ago. , i. e. , in the year 2015 as has been mentioned in para-8 of the present petition. After having examined the pleadings made in the writ petition, perusing the impugned First Information Report and considering the averments made in the petition, we are of the considered opinion that the petitioner shall not be arrested in Case Crime No. 35 of 2020 under section 498-A I. P. C. and 3/4 D. P. Act, police station Geeda, District Gorakhpur till submission of the police report under Section 173(2) Cr. P. C. , if any, before the competent court.

It is made clear that it will be open for the informant/ complainant/ aggrieved person to move an appropriate application for recall/modification of this order, as the case may be, if there has been any material concealment of fact in the present writ petition as the Court has proceeded to take up the present matter during the period of lockdown in the State of U.
