https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=294161 Transit bail is a judge-made, limited-duration protection intended to enable an accused to approach the court with territorial jurisdiction for anticipatory bail or regular bail. It has no statutory basis under the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and was historically justified by practical barriers to travel, communication and access to legal representation.
