The Court rejected the territorial jurisdiction objection, holding that jurisdiction to entertain anticipatory bail is distinct from jurisdiction to try the offence, and that protection may be sought where arrest is apprehended. On merits, the allegations were treated as part of a structured fraudulent transaction, and the investigation was at a stage where custodial interrogation had not been ruled out.
