Anticipatory bail in 498A, when NBW issued without BW or Summons.


01-Mar-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Hi,nThis is a simple 498A case without any evidence, High court rejected stating custodial interogattion is required,however the anticipatory bail was dismissed by the apex court again in a silent order but however while the case was pending in the apex court the police filed the chargesheet(complete).Now the thing was in court. In the mean while nothing happened and the court didnt give us any summons, no BW nothing. All of a sudden we came to know the court has issued NBW without SR report of Summons or ER of BW cause they were never issued in the first place may have been ordered. What are the chances of Anticipatory bail as I never recieved any intimation to appear infront of the court and no address change has been made in my residence either and no other sections of IPC has been mentioned as well.

Dear Client, In that case where Summons and BW have not been issued, then NBW proceedings are bad in the eyes of law, and as per the Chargesheet part is concern, you may approach High Court for quashing against that chargesheet for more clarification you may contact us then I'll explain properly about your case.

First you should file recall application of the NBW in the same court who have issued the this, there are much changes that it should be recalled. But if not recalled then you have come in regular bail. Definitely bail shall be enlarged. for details contact me Advocate Ranjeet Sonker

it is very unusual that the court has rejected your anticipatory bail. there is only one allegation which is punishable under section 498A of the Indian Penal Code. The Honorable Supreme Court has held in the Arnesh Kumar versus state of Bihar that the investigating officer should conduct a preliminary investigation the matter of section 498A. if the investigating officer found that there is sufficient evidence against the accused therefter he can proceed further. hence no need to arrest the accused at the onset of the registration of FIR. so far as arrest of the accused is concerned, the punishment under section 498A is up to 3 years. in the same judgement of the earnesh Kumar the Supreme Court has held that investigating officer cannot arrest the accused under section 41 of the code of criminal procedure if the offence is punishable below the seven years. hence you can get anticipatory bail on the line of judgement of the supreme court passed in arnesh Kumar versus state of Bihar.

again you can file a anticipatory bail application on your defence ground. and mention all doubt for apprehension of arrest or send to JC by court. hopefully now session court considering your grounds and give you protection and anticipatory bail..if session court reject your application then you approach to high court
