Anticipatory bail before FIR u/s 498A in u.p.-

816 votes

As per recent judgement of Hon'ble Supreme Court, Anticipatory Bail can be filed on reasonable anticipation or apprehension of lodging a cognizable report against the proposed accused. In your case, you can file an Anticipatory bail either at Sessions Court or at High Court directly by disclosing special reasons. However, you cannot seek arrest stay without lodging of FIR. It is advisable that if you have reasonable apprehension that you and your family may be booked U/S 498A then you can directly move the High Court and file an Anticipatory Bail.

Dear client, I have seen your query carefully and found that you want to consult with a competant professional lawyer and want to consult with him for anticipatory bail. In this regard it is to inform you that according to the provisions of the Criminal procedure code the anticipatory bail can only be file when any FIR registered against any person or any anticipation of arrest in any offence to the person who want to get anticipatory bail. you can get anticipatory bail from district court but if you did not susceed in getting bail from district court then you can file further anticipatory bail before high court also. So I am of the view that you should first apply for the anticipatory bail before district judge court only. I think you should get all the answers to your query. still you want to consult with me then you can contact me for further assistance and advice on my contact number through the administrator of this website
