https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=472261 Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure does not list initiation of proclamation and attachment proceedings under Sections 82 and 83 as a statutory exclusion from anticipatory bail. Although anticipatory bail is ordinarily unavailable to a proclaimed offender, a proclamation initiated after an application is filed does not itself prevent consideration on merits. Relevant factors for interim protection pending investigation include unexplained delay in the FIR, substantially similar prior allegations against others, and the applicant's undertaking to cooperate. Protection may operate until the charge-sheet, subject to appearance before the investigating officer, cooperation, and safeguards against misuse. en-us Sat, 16 Jul 2022 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 06 Oct 2026 12:49:04 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=472261 Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure does not list initiation of proclamation and attachment proceedings under Sections 82 and 83 as a statutory exclusion from anticipatory bail.
