Copy of Judgment

Case Summary: Dattatray Subhash Sonawane v. State of Maharashtra (198/2026) The court rejected the bail application of Dattatray Subhash Sonawane, arrested for theft of melon seeds and CPU components worth approximately Rs. 102 lakhs. The judge ruled that the arrest was justified despite the applicant not being named in the original FIR, as investigation revealed his active participation in the crime and production of forged authorization certificates to customs officers. The court found no illegality in the arrest under BNSS 2023 sections, holding that while Section 35 notice is generally mandatory for offences punishable with up to 7 years imprisonment, exceptions exist allowing arrest when reasonable grounds are established during investigation. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
