https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=292527 Sections 438 and 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure confer concurrent jurisdiction on the High Court and the Court of Session, but the ordinary course is to first seek bail before the Sessions Court. For anticipatory bail, the applicant may choose the forum, yet that choice does not create an absolute right to immediate High Court consideration.
