Transit anticipatory bail remains an exceptional remedy, unavailable absent prejudice or a proper territorial basis.

Transit anticipatory bail is a limited and exceptional pre-arrest relief, available only where denial would cause prejudice to the accused; the application was rejected. A person seeking such relief is ordinarily expected to approach the court having territorial jurisdiction, and absence from court or filing the request on instructions did not justify invoking this extraordinary remedy. The text therefore treats territorial jurisdiction and exceptional necessity as the governing considerations for transit anticipatory bail, with no basis shown for departure from the ordinary rule.

Issues: Whether transit anticipatory bail should be granted to the applicant.

Analysis: Transit anticipatory bail is a limited concession, to be granted only in exceptional circumstances where denial would cause prejudice to the accused. A person seeking pre-arrest bail is ordinarily required to approach the court having territorial jurisdiction, and the applicant's absence from the court and the fact that the application was filed on instructions did not justify exercise of this extraordinary relief.

Conclusion: The application for transit anticipatory bail was rejected.
