Directing the police not to take any coercive action against the father-son duo until the investigation is complete, a two-judge bench comprising Justices Siddhartha Varma and Achal Sachdev on Monday also disposed of a clutch of petitions filed by the accused seeking a restraint on their arrest, and challenging an FIR lodged against them in Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal.
