I received a Section 35 BNSS notice from police. Should I take it seriously?

Yes. A Section 35 notice is a formal part of the criminal investigation process and should not be ignored. We examine the FIR or allegations, notice contents and documents before advising on appearance and further steps.

Does receiving a Section 35 notice mean that police cannot arrest me?

Not absolutely. The notice procedure is relevant where immediate arrest is not considered necessary, but subsequent action can depend on compliance, investigation and the circumstances of the case. That is why the notice and underlying allegations should be reviewed together

Should I submit a written reply to a Section 35 notice?

A written representation can be useful in appropriate cases, particularly where documents or specific facts directly answer the allegations. It should not be filed mechanically; the contents should be considered in light of the FIR and defence strategy.

Can I seek anticipatory bail even after receiving a Section 35 notice?

Where there is a genuine apprehension of arrest, the availability and necessity of anticipatory bail can be examined even when a notice has been issued. The correct approach depends on the offences, allegations, compliance and developments in the investigation.

What should I take with me when appearing pursuant to a police notice?

Keep the notice, identification and any documents specifically required by police. If documents support your defence, they should first be organised and reviewed so that relevant material is presented clearly instead of submitting unnecessary records.
