J Bhuyan: How do you explain this - the fact that FIR in respect of scheduled offense has not been recorded does not come in the way of the authorities referred in S.48 to commence inquiry/investigation for initiating civil action

ASG: For criminal action, there has to be predicate offense

J Kant: Suppose only some complaint has been made, there's order of pre-emptory attachment. No FIR or ECIR. Do you supply copy of attachment order?

ASG: Yes.
