Hi Kaustav!
There are a couple of things you need to remember in order to write a successful application for anticipatory bail.
1. Anticipatory bail application is filed in the Code of Criminal Procedure (CRPC) under Section 438.
2. It is filed by the accused.
4.It should be signed by the applicant, who is the accused, or anybody on the behalf of the accused. If the latter is done, complete details of the applicant must be provided. The applicant also have to include an affidavit supporting the anticipatory bail application.
5. Apart from the affidavit, a clear copy of the FIR, along with copies of all other relevant documents must be submitted with the application. The copies of the orders passed by the district courts rejecting the application must also be provided.
6. Power of attorney in favour of the counsel has to be executed and attached.
