The petitioner, a prosecution witness in two murder cases, was repeatedly arrested by Bazarpeth police at the instance of the convict Mhatre family; two earlier Section 151(3) arrests in February and April 1998 ended in immediate release by the Judicial Magistrate. He was arrested again on 16 July 1998 under Section 41(2) with Section 110(e)(g) chapter proceedings on stale April-1998 statements, with no emergency, and jailed from 17 July to 10 August 1998 on interim-bond failure.
