The object of arrest and detention of the accused person is primarily to secure his appearance at the time of trial and to ensure that in case he is found guilty he is available to receive sentence. If his presence at the trial could be reasonably ensured otherwise than his arrest and detention, it would be unjust and unfair to deprive the accused of his liberty during the pendency of the criminal proceedings against him.

In fact ‘anticipatory bail’ is a misnomer as it is not bail presently granted in anticipation of arrest. When the Court grants ‘anticipatory bail’ what it does is to make an order that in the event of arrest, a person shall be released on bail. Manifestly there is no question of release on bail unless a person is arrested and, therefore, it is only on arrest that the order granting ‘anticipatory bail’ becomes operative.
