Bail is the temporary release of an accused person during legal proceedings, ensuring their presence at trial. It's granted by the court based on factors like the offense's nature and the individual's likelihood to flee.
Anticipatory bail is sought to prevent arrest in anticipation of a non-bailable offense. It safeguards against arbitrary arrest, and the court may grant it with conditions after considering the offense's seriousness and the person's cooperation with the investigation. Legal guidance is crucial in these processes.
