AIR 2021 SC 2968 | Anticipatory Bail

Anticipatory Bail – When accused persons have surrendered and taken into custody, all aspects related with prayer of grant of anticipatory bail are practically rendered redundant – However their right to seek regular bail during pendency of trial is not taken away.

Penal Code, 1860 – Ss. 364, 304 & 506 – Proceedings stayed by the Supreme Court – the High Court noticed the order but, proceeded to grant anticipatory bail – Order of bail granted by the High Court cannot be approved for the reasons that the impugned order stands in conflict with the stay order passed by Supreme Court.
