I think a warrant of arrest on mere allegation of harassment can be problematic. In many cases, harassment is a grey area requiring concrete evidence. Issuing a warrant without sufficient proof can lead to wrongful arrests and erode trust in law enforcement. We should weigh the balance between protecting victims' rights and ensuring due process for the accused.
"Arrest warrant on mere allegation of harassment kuch bhi hai. Kanoon mein kya khaas hai, yaad rakhein. IPC Section 340 mein lagu kiya gaya hai ki court ke aadesh ke bina arrest nahi kiya jaa sakta hai. Mere vichar mein, police aur court ke saath coordination ki avashyakta hai. Har ek case ko alag-alag kadam se ghya kiya jaana chahiye.
