Arif v. State of Kerala
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court of Kerala dismissed an application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 Cr.P.C.

However, the Court suggested the petitioner might surrender if advised.
What did the court decide?
The applicant is ordered to surrender before the investigating officer if advised by counsel, but the bail application is dismissed.
