Respected Experts, recently an order was passed ''no arrest before prior approval under section 66a''. My query is that whether complaint can be registered without approval or it will also need approval as said above ? Plz illuminate

Better discuss your problem, rather than making academic query. Further, a question arises, in which capacity you are concerned with the arrest with or without approval?

Depends upon nature of objection, if that is actually violative of sec.66a. However, for filing any FIR, no permission from any authority is required irrespective of the result later on.
