2023 (6) TMI 1227 - DSC - GSTSeeking grant of anticipatory bail - territorial jurisdiction of this court for entertaining the present application - HELD THAT:- Similar question arose in Pritam Singh Vs. State of Punjab [1980 (12) TMI 201 - DELHI HIGH COURT], it was held that cognizable offence was alleged to have been committed in the State of Punjab whereas the anticipatory bail was applied before the Delhi High Court as the accused had reasonable apprehension of arrest in Delhi - In that context, it was observed that there is nothing in Section 438 CrPC which restricts the jurisdiction of High Court or Court of Session. “One need not mix up the jurisdiction relating to cognizance of an offence with that of granting of bails. Bails are against arrest and detention. Therefore, an appropriate court within whose jurisdiction the arrest takes place or is apprehended or is contemplated will also have jurisdiction to grant bail to the person concerned.” This court has territorial jurisdiction to entertain the present application - Application disposed off.
