if F.I.R is not mandatory for anticipatry bail then whats the diffrence between blanket bail and anticipatry bail???

there is constitution bench (5 judge)decision of apex court where it has been held rhat "The filing of a first information report is not a condition precedent to the exercise of the power under S. 438. The imminence of a likely arrest founded on a reasonable belief can be shown to exist even if an FIR is not yet filed.

Anticipatory bail can be granted even after an FIR is filed, so long as the applicant has not been arrested.  "-- AIR 1980 SC1632 Gurbakhs sing sibia v. State of Punjab (Para 35)
