Sushila Aggarwal vs State (Nct Of Delhi) on 29 January, 2020

28. The Hon'ble Apex Court in Sushila Aggarwal v. NCT of Delhi : (2020) 5 SCC 1, enunciated the approach of 'transit anticipatory bail' and 'interim protection' that balanced the right to life and personal liberty under Article 19(1)(d) of the Constitution of India with the fundamental scheme of administration of criminal justice, as prescribed in the CrPC. The purpose of interim protection in the form of transit bail is to allow the accused to approach the appropriate Court that has jurisdiction over the matter. It cannot be ignored that in an age where the movement of a citizen is frequent and fast, an offender may apprehend arrest even with respect to a complaint made by the complainant in one State, though the offended person may be residing in another State.
