Accused In Custody Can Seek Anticipatory Bail For Another Case : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court clarified that an individual already in custody for one case can apply for anticipatory bail in another case. The ruling came in response to legal ambiguity surrounding the issue of whether being in custody prevents a person from seeking anticipatory bail for unrelated accusations. The Court's decision ensures that an individual’s right to anticipatory bail remains intact even while they are in custody for a separate matter, providing broader protection against arbitrary detention.
