No. 286 of 1999 under section 379, P.P.C., as such, he is required by, the police.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioner has pointed out that ho report was made of his arrest in the relevant police station and no corresponding entry was incorporated in the Roznamcha, therefore, the case against the petitioner becomes doubtful.
