Station bail is given after arrest. Anticipatory bail is given before, and to prevent, arrest.
Only can a Sessions Court and a HIgh Court grant anticipatory bail.
Thanks Om Prakash Sir for your quick response. In AP, police were telling that they can grant the police station bail for case registered under sec 498A. If that is the case, can I go-ahead and take the police station bail? if yes, then the police bail can stop arresting till court proceedings?
In 498A cases as per the latest judgement of Supreme Court after over ruling the judgement of
Rajesh Sharma and others v. State of U.P. and another
according to the judgement in
Social Action Forum for Manav Adhikar
and another
VERSUS
Union of India
Ministry of Law and Justice and others
no arrest shall be done unless the FIR discloses offences involving tangible physical injuries or death.
In all other cases the police shall serve the notice on the accused u/s 41A CrPC and the accused are bound to cooperate with the police after the receipt of the said notice.
Also i suggest No bail from court is required for the offence of 498A.
