Why did you ask the question starting from the words inter alia, " Sir Why I need ....." ???

Giving an examination ???

As per your query concerned!

When an individual is apprehended to have committed an offence (punishable under the law for the time being in force), the machinery of law is mandated to arrest them, bring them to trial and punish them if found guilty. Arrest deprives an individual of his liberty, and the act of securing bail usually sets him free. The concept of bail is inextricably linked to the right to personal liberty.

When we talking about anticipatory bail under Section 438(1) Code of criminal procedure, 1908, lays down "when any person having a reason to believe that he may get arrested for a non-bailable offence then he can apply for anticipatory bail to the High Court or the Court of the session and it is at the discretion of the Court that whether they want to give the bail or not".

So far as section 498 A of IPC is concerned no police officer shall mechanically arrest any person until allegations are verified.

Hope it is helpful!

What is the context for this query? Who has suggested/advised you to seek anticipatory bail?

Read Apex Court judgment in the case titled "Arnesh Kumar Vs. State of Bihar" wherein guidelines have been given regarding arrest of an accused.
