Anticipatory Bail

Anticipatory bail is a preventive legal remedy designed to shield individuals who reasonably apprehend an arrest in connection with a non-bailable offense. Under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) / Section 438 of the CrPC, an application is submitted directly to the Court of Session or the High Court before any actual custody occurs. If granted, the court orders that in the event of an arrest, the individual must be released immediately on specified bail conditions.
