Sakir @ Raja v. State of U.P. and Another
Case brief
What is this about?
The Allahabad High Court disposed of an anticipatory bail application under Section 438 Cr.P.C. The court held that since the applicant received a notice under Section 41-A Cr.P.C. and the alleged offence is punishable with up to seven years' imprisonment, there is no apprehension of arrest. The application was dismissed as redundant.
What did the court decide?
No anticipatory bail granted; application disposed of on the ground that Section 41-A Cr.P.C. protection suffices.
