'I was arrested without due process" Ketaki had moved the petition seeking that the High Court should declare the arrest illegal. Before arresting Ketki, the police should have given her a notice under CRPC 41 (a) and asked her to appear before the investigating officer, Ketki's lawyer Yogesh Deshpande had argued in court.
