https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=308462 Territorial jurisdiction for anticipatory bail under Section 438 CrPC is linked to the State in which the offence is registered, not the accused's residence. The expression "High Court" refers to the High Court having jurisdiction in relation to that offence. Sections 78 and 81 CrPC separately address execution of process outside the issuing court's jurisdiction and require the court concerned to consider relevant information and documents when deciding bail. Entertaining an anticipatory-bail application solely because the accused resides within the court's territory may deprive the court of material concerning the offence and create practical difficulties. Anticipatory bail for an offence registered in another State must therefore be sought before the competent High Court or Court of Session. en-us Tue, 09 Aug 1983 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 28 Jun 2023 11:15:38 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=308462 Territorial jurisdiction for anticipatory bail under Section 438 CrPC is linked to the State in which the offence is registered, not the accused's residence.
