You should engage a competent lawyer and should act under guidance of appointed advocate. You should also check status and orders of court in the case in order to ascertain the facts and status. Police may issue notice under section 41 cr.p.c.(35 BNNS 2023) calling accused to join investigation. Police can also directly call accused to join investigation. if authorities demand then you have no option but to provide all informations to police and authorities. 

1. Yes, better engage an advocate.

2. Phone call sufficient.

3. Need to know the history of the case and the bail order.

4.  As you said chargesheet not filed, you can engage an advocate now after having a dialogue.

5. Again, as chargesheet not yet filed, there won't be any warrant.

6. They can discover if required. Don't get scared too much on this.

7. Question is vague.

G.Rajaganapathy,

Advocate,

High Court of Madras.

they should notice under section 41 A of cr pc for inquiry 

2) there is no automatic arrest 

3) your statement would be recorded . police would after inquiry submit charge sheet to court or closure report 

4) if there was warrant issued against you then police would have visited your residence 

5) you should deny that certificate was forged 

1. Police will not call you if any warrant is pending, they will comm and arrest you. Still you can check in the Court where case is pending if any NBW is issued.
2. Police can call any person connected with case but it can be done only by issuing proper notice.
3. You are not bound to furnish any information if you do not want to share.
4. It is safe to engage a lawyer to take care of any complications.

Since you are already on bail you can be summoned by police for further inquiry, phone call is enough, if you don't respond then the police may even apply for cancellation of bail 

You can engage the services of a new advocate also if your previous advocate is not available.

You have to divulge with the information sought by police whether they are your personal or case related alone because failure to provide the information sought they may give an adverse information in the charge sheet which would impact your case against you.

You need not worry about visiting police station at this stage.

Thanks for your appreciation 

you can engage a lawyer if you so desire 

you can engage a new lawyer 

Dear Client,

Under the new Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS), it is now of utmost importance that one should take the notice seriously and hire a competent lawyer as soon as possible to protect their rights because new provisions are more formal procedures. Under BNSS Section 175, which was CrPC Section 41A earlier, police must give a formal notice; a phone call is not sufficient. Your lawyer can also trace any outstanding warrants against you and accompany you to the inquiry to prevent arbitrary actions since arrests now must be accompanied by written justifications. Disclose only case-relevant information and assert your right against self-incrimination. Your lawyer will also help minimize the impact to your career if disclosure to your employer becomes necessary. Acting promptly ensures the law is complied with and, therefore, your interests safeguarded effectively.

Hope you find this answer beneficial for resolving the dispute.

- If you are on bail , then you can visit personally for enquiry.

- As per law, the police should issue a notice under section 41A CrPc and a phone message is not enough. 

-  Since, you are on bail then the police cannot arrest you on any ground even if you will not participate the investigation. 

- You can engage a new lawyer , as the charge sheet is not filed before the Court. 

- If you are on bail , then why you are worry for arresting in the same case. 

You can very well engage a new lawyer to fight your case in furtherance.

Yes you can engage the lawyer by giving vakalatnama to the new lawyer.

1. Engaging a Lawyer: Yes, bring a lawyer to the enquiry. Even without a filed vakalatnama, they can guide you during the enquiry.

2. Summons Procedure: Police must issue a formal written notice (under Section 41A CrPC) for enquiry. A phone call is not sufficient.

3. Check for Warrants: Verify any warrants through the local court records or via your lawyer.

4. Protection from False Charges: Attend with a lawyer, remain cooperative, and avoid providing self-incriminating statements. Keep detailed records of the enquiry.

5. Employment Concerns: Share only necessary personal details. You’re not obligated to disclose professional details unless specifically required.

6. Next Steps:

   • Appoint a new lawyer immediately.
   • Respond only to written summons.
   • Request a copy of case updates or FIR details.
