The High Court and Court of Session retain jurisdiction to grant anticipatory bail in non-bailable offences, and those post-investigation events are only relevant factors to be weighed with the gravity of the offence and the need for custodial interrogation. The earlier decision referred to is treated as a guideline on the ordinary limited duration of anticipatory bail, not as a bar to maintainability. Anticipatory bail may therefore still be granted after cognizance or filing of the charge-sheet if the facts justify such relief. en-us Wed, 08 Oct 2003 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 05 Jul 2024 18:40:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=295912 Section 438 CrPC does not cease to operate merely because cognizance has been taken or a charge-sheet has been filed.
