What is Anticipatory Bail?

Anticipatory bail is a legal provision under Section 438 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), 1973, allowing a person to seek bail in anticipation of arrest for a non-bailable offense. It serves as a preventive measure to protect individuals from potential harassment or undue detention.

Key Features of Anticipatory Bail

1. Protection from Arrest
   • Prevents the applicant from being taken into custody without a formal investigation.
2. Conditional Granting
   • The court may impose conditions such as surrendering a passport, cooperating with investigations, or restricting travel.
3. Court Discretion
   • Granted based on the merits of the case, including the nature of the offense, past conduct of the applicant, and the likelihood of misuse.

When to Apply for Anticipatory Bail

• When a false complaint is filed or likely to be filed against you.
• If there is a reasonable apprehension of arrest due to a non-bailable offense.
• When you need legal protection to present your side in a dispute.
