casestatus.in Summary
Where an accused cooperates with investigation and a charge-sheet has been filed during the subsistence of interim protection against arrest, such protection under Section 438 CrPC may be made absolute and extended through trial, contingent on diligent participation and compliance with conditions under Section 438(2). This principle, as analysed on casestatus.in, reflects that anticipatory bail protection need not terminate upon filing of charge-sheet when circumstances justify continuity.
