While disposing of Criminal Appeal No.70/2009 notice was issued to respondent no.1 since respondent no.1 had not carried out arrest panchanama in respect of the two accused when they were arrested at Nagpur, in breach of the directions given by the Apex Court in the case of D. K. Basu Vs State of West Bengal, (1997)1 SCC 416. 3. Mr. Teles, learned counsel appearing for respondent no.1 has invited our attention to the panchanama dated 21.3.2006 exhibit 71 by which respondent no.1 had carried out arrest cum attachment panchanama in respect of the two accused at Nagpur. Perusal of the record discloses that respondent no.1 who was examined as PW25 in the course of the trial, had referred to the said panchanama and identified his signature on the panchanama. 4. In view of the above, it is evident that respondent no.1 has not acted contrary to the directions given in D. K. Basu( supra). Therefore, we propose to drop the contempt proceedings against respondent no.1. Hence contempt proceedings are dropped. A. P. LAVANDE, J. U. V. BAKRE, J. vn
