The power to grant anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) vests with both the Court of Sessions and the High Court. This provision allows a person to seek bail in anticipation of an arrest on accusation of having committed a non-bailable offense, ensuring their liberty until the time they can appear before the trial court.
