The key observations include; preliminary inquiry not a must into the case; No prior approval of appointing authority or senior cops required before FIR; anticipatory bail provision not available; and courts can however quash FIRs in exceptional circumstances.
 
A bench headed by Justice Arun Mishra said that before registering an FIR under the Act it is not mandatory to conduct a preliminary inquiry into the matter, and also senior officials' approvals is also not required. justice Ravindra Bhat, other judge on the Bench, said citizens should treat each other with equality emphasizing that the liberal use of anticipatory bail will run contrary to the intention of Parliament.
