Anticipatory Bail can be granted by:

Correct option is A

Under Section 482 of the BNSS, anticipatory bail can be granted by both the Sessions Court and the High Court. These courts have concurrent jurisdiction to hear applications for anticipatory bail. The Supreme Court can intervene in exceptional circumstances where fundamental rights or justice are at stake, but anticipatory bail is not routinely granted by it.

• Option (b) is incorrect because anticipatory bail cannot be granted by any criminal court; it is restricted to Sessions and High Courts.
• Option (c) is incorrect as it excludes the Sessions Court.
• Option (d) is incorrect as the Supreme Court is not the primary authority for anticipatory bail.
