Your AB is rejected.However the police is directed to investigate as per established norms and directions set forth in the said direction.

However the bail is rejected and if Police deems fit it can arrest you.

If this is order of sessions court, you can apply for AB another time in high court.

The present situation your anticipatory bail is dismissed by the court. Even though the court direct the SHO to following the directions and guide lines given by the Supreme court of India in the case D.K. Basu,Ashok K. Johri vs State Of West Bengal,State Of U.P on 18 December, 1996.

If the session court is reject the Anticipatory bail then approach the high court for getting the same.

Your bail petition has been dismissed. The only direction passed by the court is to not to harass you under the guise of investigation. Once the FIR gets filed then you should apply afresh for AB.

No, the order given by District Judge is that there should be no harassment to you or arrest by police till a final view is taken by the court in the matter.

2. It does not mean that AB is rejected.

Hi

1) Unfortunately the anticipatory bail is NOT Granted in your case.

2) In your case it is only the complaint filed and NO FIR has been filed which means You have still plenty of chances of getting Regular bail from the Sessions/High Court itself upon the FIR being filed.

3) The best option could have been to support the police investigation through your lawyer and then move the court for bail(regular/anticipatory)

4) In the event of police effecting arrest, the court have advised the police to follow rules prescribed in DK Basu vs State of West Bengal at the time of effecting arrest.
