Rule 184 regulates bail where the accused is already in custody and requires notice to the prosecution and, in specified cases, reasonable grounds to believe the accused is not guilty; it does not create a separate bail power or impliedly repeal section 438. Anticipatory bail therefore remains available, but the Court should ordinarily apply the protective conditions reflected in rule 184 when exercising that power. en-us Fri, 05 Nov 1976 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 15:07:09 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=196893 Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 is not excluded by rule 184 of the Defence and Internal Security of India Rules, 1971 in contravention cases, because the two provisions operate at different stages and are not inconsistent.
