Anticipatory bail is the release of a person on Bail, granted to him even before he is arrested. It allows a person to seek Bail if he/she anticipates an arrest by the law on the accusation of having committed a Non-Bailable offence.

When an Anticipatory Bail is filed, the opposing party is notified of the Bail application. The opposition party in return can file an application (with the help of a prosecutor) to contest the original application of Anticipatory Bail.

The Session Court and the High Court accept the application of Anticipatory Bail on the terms of looking at all the facts in light and studying the case in detail.
