Teja Singh 2000 (4) All Indian Criminal Law Reporter 768 as under:- “Normally, when a case is instituted on a complaint, the Court issues summons to the accused to appear in the Court and on such appearance, instead of being arrested, he would apply for bail. Unless there are compelling reasons, the Court would allow the accused to remain on bail, at least till the charge is framed. Even after charge is framed, the situation would be reconsidered if necessary.” Keeping in view those observations of the Apex Court, the ad- interim anticipatory bail of the petitioner is extended by a period of one month from today and during that period, they shall seek regular bail from the trial court. The petition is disposed of accordingly. January 22, 2009 (GURDEV SINGH ) prem JUDGE
