Anticipatory bail when arrest is apprehended
Anticipatory bail is a pre-arrest remedy considered in appropriate non-bailable matters. Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 addresses a direction for grant of bail to a person apprehending arrest.
What is reviewed before filing?
The FIR or complaint, nature of allegations, role attributed to the applicant, available documents, investigation stage, prior proceedings, jurisdiction and any special statutory restrictions are reviewed before deciding the appropriate course.
Urgent matters
Where there is a genuine apprehension of arrest, early collection of the FIR/complaint, notices and relevant documents helps counsel assess the forum and relief that may lawfully be sought.
After rejection
The next remedy depends on the court that passed the order, the reasons recorded and the applicable law. A fresh or higher-court remedy is not automatic and requires case-specific assessment.
