Fear of arrest in a false case? Anticipatory bail
If you fear arrest in a non-bailable case, you can apply for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the BNSS (earlier Section 438 CrPC). Courts consider the nature of the accusation, your background and the possibility that the case is being misused. A quick, well-prepared application matters.
