Supreme Court of India rules that an individual in custody for one crime can apply for pre-arrest bail in another case.

The Supreme Court of India has determined that an individual in custody for one criminal case can apply for anticipatory bail in another case, provided they have not yet been arrested in connection with that second matter. The ruling clarifies that there are no legal restrictions preventing sessions or high courts from granting such bail. This decision aims to ensure that custody in one case does not hinder the rights of an accused in another case.
