A Bench of Chief Justice Ritu Bahari and Justice Rakesh Thapliyal said in its order,
“The State can examine the issue whether recording of the statement under section 161 of CrPC, would be sufficient not to arrest the boy, who has gone on a date with the girl, and at the most, he can be called for giving him advice not to indulge in these things, but he should not be arrested.”
The Court added that the State could examine this issue and issue general directions to the police.
