Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

rejection of bail application u/s 437 of Cr.P.C.

this is a case where the concerned

police has filed a F.I.R. for the offence

punishable u/s 304, the accused

approached the sessions court and

got the anticipatory bail with a

condition to file the regular bail

within one month for which the

accused filed the application u/s 437

in the munsiff court within one

month but the concerned judge in

the particular court is rejecting all the

applications when anticipatory bail is

granted, whether it amounts to

Anticipatory bail is different from regular bail and the munsif court has full discretion to reject or grant regular bail so it does not amount to contempt of sessions court.

Yes munsiff court can reject the bail application, it has absolute power and jurisdiction to do so. Concept of anticipatory bail and regular is different.

I think you have asked this question before also.

The judge has power to reject regular bail you can approach to higher court for the same against that order while anticipatory bail is operative. This is not contempt of court.

Re: rejection of bail application u/s 437 of Cr.P.C.

Munsiff or Magistrate is very much entitled to decide the bail application filed before it on merit, which includes its rejection.

By rejecting a bail application in a case in which anticipatory bail application has been granted for one month, Munsiff is not committing any contempt and it has powers to do so.
