Raghvendra Tripathi v. State of Up
Case brief
What is this about?
This single-judge order rejected an anticipatory bail application filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. The court held that anticipatory bail is not maintainable when the case involves charges that carry the possibility of a death sentence, citing Section 438(6)(b) Cr.P.C., and thus did not interfere with the application.
What did the court decide?
Application under Section 438 Cr.P.C. rejected on grounds of non-maintainability in cases where death sentence may be awarded.
