WHAT IS ANTICIPATORY BAIL?
Anticipatory bail is a direction to release a person on bail, issued even before the person is arrested.
Here is an explanation of Anticipatory bail given by the Supreme Court (Gurbaksh Singh Sibbia v The State of Punjab AIR 1980 SUPREME COURT 1632). A person can apply for AB even after the FIR is filed, but not if the person has been arrested. Read the excerpts to get an understanding of AB:
- 35. Section 438 (1) of the Code lays down a condition, which has to be satisfied before anticipatory bail can be granted. The applicant must show that he has “reason to believe’ that he may be arrested for a non-bailable offence. The use of the expression “reason to believe” shows that the belief that the applicant may be so arrested must be founded on reasonable grounds.
- Thirdly, the filing of a First Information Report is not a condition precedent to the exercise of the power under S. 438. The imminence of a likely arrest founded on a reasonable belief can be shown to exist even if an FIR is not yet file.
- Fourthly, anticipatory bail can be granted even after in FIR is filed, so long as the applicant has not been arrested.
- After arrest, the accused must seek his remedy under S. 437 or Section 439 of the Code, if he wants to be released on bail in respect of the offence or offenses for which he is arrested.
____________
- The nature and gravity or seriousness of accusation as apprehended by the applicant;
- The antecedents of the applicant including the fact as to whether he has, on conviction by a Court, previously undergone imprisonment for a term in respect of any cognizable offence;
- The likely object of the accusation to humiliate or malign the reputation of the applicant by having him so arrested; and
- The possibility of the appellant, if granted anticipatory bail, fleeing from justice.
____________
Here is a post that clarifies it all: SC Explains Anticipatory Bail – 2009
____________
When Can A Person Apply For AB ?: When any person apprehends that there is a move to get him arrested on false or trump up charges, or due to enmity with someone, or he fears that a false case is likely to be built up against him. He has the right to move the Court of Session or the High Court under section 438 of the code of Criminal Procedure for grant of bail in the event of his arrest, and the court may, if it thinks fit, direct that in the event of such arrest, he shall be released on bail.
Conditions That May Be Imposed By The Court: The High Court or the Court of Session may include such conditions in the light of the facts of the particular case, as it may think fit, including:
· A condition that the person shall make himself available for interrogation by the police officer as and when required;
· A condition that the person shall not, directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the court or to any police officer;
· A condition that the person shall not leave India without the previous permission of the court.
Arrest: If such person is thereafter arrested, and is prepared either at the time of arrest or at any time while in the custody of such officer to give bail, he shall be released on bail and the magistrate taking cognizance of such offence decides that warrant should be issued against that person, he shall issue a bailable warrant in conformity with the direction of the court granting anticipatory bail.
Anticipatory Bail Not A Blanket Order: The applicant must show by disclosing special facts and events that he has reason to believe, that he may be arrested for a non-bailable offence so that the court may take care to specify the offence or offences in respect of which alone the order will be effective and it is not a blanket order covering all other offences.
Cancellation: An accused is free on bail as long as the same is not canceled. The High Court or Court of Session may direct that any person who has been released on bail be arrested and commit him to custody on an application moved by the complainant or the prosecution.

Hello,
Did you get any confirmation about the process ? May be by now, you could answer the questions yourself..that were put by you ..
What is the difference between interim protection presumably it is same as 3 day arrest notice and AB ?
When a complaint goes to women cell (as is the process in Delhi), what should one do, apply for interim or apply for AB ?

1. Please note 498A is a legal terrorism tools and the main fear is arrest immediately. Maximum cases it had been wittness that the people do not able to move to court for getting the AB . Result they land up in jail.
2. Once you get a arrest stay , police have to serve you the summon and get it singed or past in your home, so you know that a FIR had been registered in your name and you can go immediately to court for AB.
Even one day notice also sufficient , so that you can take the necessary save gurd your self and try for AB , as you know a FIR had been registered in your name. It will not be like, police come with FIR and arrest you and put behinnd the bar.
3. Once the arrest stay granted, the chances of particapate in police enquiry without fear and you can face them without fear and they can’t blackmail you that od this other sise we will send you behind the bar.
4. Yes, a lot of cases we wittness that a arrest stay gives some benift for AB , but it is not always true, and do not get complecent.
Basically the arrest stay , gives a chance once FIR registered and then move to court for AB or at least take a save gurd for your self.
This is a must to do activity , if you want to face the legal terrorist .

Dear Sir
I have been harassed by wife as follows:
She cheated me by saying that she was never married and is not having any child.
But her behavour with me is that she wants jsut a marriage relationship but not the actual staying together. This is beacuse either she is intersted in another person or she is having children that she is raising secretly. When I started suspecting her that she always goes to Hyderabad and stays with mom is not because that her mom is ill, it is becuase she is raising her kids secretly in Hyderabad.
So she is taking this as a chance and says taht her mom is ill or she is ill so she wants to stay with her mom so that she can escape from being staying at Vizag which is my native place and I asked her to stay ther and estblish a residence (a rented one so that when I come back I can stay). She did not listen to me. I request the police/cid to get invovled in this cheating (as per me – but needs to be proved)case by my wife and verify as against her patterns and behaviours.
I am working as a faculty member in engineering in Libya.
She filed a case against me and revoked before I was leaving to Libya.
I need the police to help me out in getting rid of this false case of 498A is being used by many woman.
Can I get good justice and can I be protected against this in terms of leading good conjugal life with kids of my own (begated child)
Help me please………..

Hi
One day police came to my home at night at 10-00 hrs and wanted to arrest me and my papa for cheating of USD 3,200/ and Rs 20,000 to one person. I never received any notice, or summon. Person has filed FRI in other city and I m in other city, but he has put me as director of one company abroad and in that company he has TT USD 3200/.
He had filed case of criminal code which r unbailable. I went to his city n applied for AB, my papa got it due to his age 73 and heart patient. My was rejected, then I applied with HC and I got it. Papa has to surrender with his city court ( session court ) within 15 days. Every 5th of month he has to report to city police station of his city. I got from HC but nothing mentioned in that like special date or i have to be precent with chief justice / we both have to give rs 10,000 x 2 securities.
Now my question : still my local police can arrest me till I dont serrunder to court ? can they take me on remand or like wise they can hit me ?
I have also given few goverment official letter and proof to court that we r not partner or director of this company. But this man has deposited rs 20,000 in to my account but How I dont no. ( cash depostied ) My younger brother is also citizen of that abroad county where this company has taken his USD 3200 and not supplied his goods. He has also included my that brother name in it as MD. We have given register copy of company from that abroad country and its much much more advance n free of courruption, clearly mentioned with others name as Directors and MD
Can police arresst me if I dont surrender to court as no date in mention. Its writen that police can call me introgration, so can they hit me or like that ?
What action I can take to safe my self for crime what I have not done.

We all should gather and demands for amendment in this legal terrorism law IPC-498a. This is a family matter and not a terrorism attack tha without any proof we should go for jail on behalf of just a false complaint because wife is demanding to suck his buttock and throw his parent out from the house.
I m predicting that one day the judges of supreme court and all the person who have made such a ridiculous, and killing innocent law , will go to the jail when their daughter-in-law lodge a false dowry case against them.
It is right time to amend the act otherwise the culture of our India will not be survived. Ppl will think before marriage. and they always see each other with suspected eyes that one day his wife will lodge a false report if he does not fulfill his demand whether his wife is demanding unnatural demand.

Dear Sir,
I am a central govt. officer and got married on Feb. 16th 2010 to woman who is an Asstt. Professor (Applied Chemistry) from Bhopal. Since the marriage took place very quickly both the parties could not understand each other well but after marriage the woman stated playing her game and her entire past came out to be a big bluff. She is in realtionship with a married man, an Engineer in the Bhopal Municipal corporation who has left her wife long back ago. He has kept her as her better half and provided a flat and full monetary support with all sought of facilites. This fact was well known to her family but it was not disclosed to me prior to marriage as she and her family was looking for a Marrriage Certficate. With his support she has now started living in Lucknow on her own. Moreover she defends her realtionship and speaks lot of lie.
When i caught her with the suspicious activites she just said that he is everything for her and i am a dummy husband. she revealed that they have past 10 years of strong relationship and she cannot leave him, he being a wealthy man with very high political and adminstrative links.
Please suggest how to get rid of her as she and her family threats for false implication in 498A and Dowry cases. I am really very much upset and in need of help.

hi Sir/Madam,
My self 33 year old working in New Delhi & my father is to be retired this april-11 month from punjab govt. I married in april-2009 in orissa my home town. About my family history my father is 2nd in out of four brothers. Now my grand father & mother is expires & all of them are separated now. As I mention my father is employee in Punjab govt so only our family get educated & get settle in chandigarh . We have now permanent residence, voter card and license & ration card at chandigarh. After my marriage at orissa my home town with an oriya girl we come to chandigarh. With in six month the girl start behaving illogically (separation from family, not supports with my family members, non cooking & working …etc) so I decide to sent her back to her home for learning in sep-09 & even I personally talk to my in-laws for that but they are not responded well with me .
In jan-10 she along with her father & mother come to my house that now she will co-operate & runs your house properly. After one week stay of there in-laws they back to orissa. But same thing happens again even I take her to delhi for avoid house hold problems. But she is not in mood to settles down. So I finally send her back to her residence along with her brother in June-10. for higher study (during marriage she & there family ask us that girl is graduate & computer qualified, but after marriage come to know that graduation certificate is fake/duplicate & she having no enough knowledge in computers as well as academic) after that she never come to chandigarh or delhi till date. In jan-11 she call me that she don’t able to study, so you suit for divorce as I am residing in chandigarh so I suit a divorce at chandigarh court with non understanding in jan-11 now in replies of that she logged at FIR 498 against me & family members including the uncle’s at orriasa.
Now they planed to harass me my father who is going to retire this month. My planning is to file for anticipatory bail in orissa (already file for that) & then meet police & there family member for mutely settlements.
