An anticipatory bail lawyer is the one who analyses the client’s details and requirements and works on it. Anticipatory Bail can be applied when the client believes that they can be arrested for an accusation of having committed a non-bailable offence.

Anticipatory bail is only issued by the Sessions Court and the High Court
Once Anticipatory Bail in Mumbai is granted, then the person/accused cannot be arrested or taken into custody. On the other hand, the person accused is called to the police station periodically to facilitate the investigation. Any person has to apply for bail as soon as the charge sheet is filed.

Whereas Anticipatory bail can also be filed without registration of FIR, as even in a case where no FIR is lodged and a person is apprehending his arrest in the case, in that case, he can apply for “anticipatory bail without FIR”.
