Section 498 vests concurrent and unfettered powers upon the High Court Division to direct the release of any accused person on bail before actual custodial apprehension.
As established by Appellate Division precedents, anticipatory bail is an exceptional relief granted to protect personal liberty from malicious prosecution.
Includes stamp duties, Vakalatnama, motion petition drafting, Advocate-on-Record filing, and senior counsel representation, typically ranging between BDT 20,000 to BDT 50,000.
Prior to expiration of the interim bail order, the accused must furnish local solvent bailors and obtain confirmation from the competent Sessions Judge.
