Explanation:

Section 438 of the Cr.PC deals with anticipatory bail. The power of granting 'anticipatory bail' is an extraordinary remedy and allowed in exceptional cases only on grounds like - that a person is falsely implicated or a frivolous case is launched against him or there are reasonable grounds for holding that a person accused of an offence is not likely to abscond, or otherwise misuse his liberty while on bail. It can be granted by a Court of Session or a High Court. Where a competent court grants anticipatory bail, it makes an order that in the event of arrest, a person shall be released on bail. fGurbaksh Singh Sibbia v. State Of Punjab 1980 AIR 1632)
