Abstract:
The concept of anticipatory bail is an important legal safeguard that allows individuals to seek protection from arrest in cases where there is a likelihood of being falsely implicated in a criminal offense. In Bangladesh, the provision for anticipatory bail is enshrined in the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), which sets out the procedure for granting such relief.
This research paper aims to analyze the legal provisions and case law related to anticipatory bail in Bangladesh. The study will begin with an overview of the concept of anticipatory bail and its importance in safeguarding individual liberties. It will then provide a detailed analysis of the relevant provisions in the CrPC and examine the procedure for seeking anticipatory bail.
The paper will also delve into the case law related to anticipatory bail in Bangladesh and examine the judicial interpretation of the legal provisions. This analysis will include an examination of the factors that are considered by the courts when deciding whether to grant anticipatory bail and the circumstances under which it may be revoked. The paper will also explore the impact of recent amendments to the CrPC on the grant of anticipatory bail in Bangladesh.
the study will provide insights into the legal framework governing anticipatory bail in Bangladesh and its practical implications for individuals seeking protection from arrest. It will also highlight the challenges and opportunities for reform in this area and propose recommendations for strengthening the legal safeguards for individual liberties.
