It was also submitted that all offences alleged in the FIR are punishable for less than five years. They also argued that raising slogans don't attract Section 196 and 197 of BNS (Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita).On the other hand, Additional Public Prosecutor (APP) Atul Shrivastav opposed the anticipatory bail plea and submitted that when custody of a person is required for investigation, serving a notice is not necessary.APP Shrivastav also referred to the situation that arose at Himachal Sadan last week.
