If the police are visiting your client's house or repeatedly calling them to the station for "questioning" regarding a non-bailable offense, do not tell your client to wait for the FIR to be uploaded online. By then, they might already be in handcuffs! π¨
The Big Mistake: Many young lawyers think they need an official FIR number to file an application for Anticipatory Bail.
The "Apprehension" Hack: The law is actually on your side! You do not need a registered FIR to seek protection. You only need to prove to the Sessions Court or High Court that your client has a "reasonable apprehension" (a genuine fear) of being arrested.
If the police are showing up at their door, making verbal threats, or sending notices for continuous questioning, that is all the proof you need to trigger this rule! Draft the petition based on this apprehension and get them protected before the arrest happens.
