Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Anticipatory bail ordinarily need not expire on filing a chargesheet, taking cognizance or issuing summons. Sushila Aggarwal v. State (NCT of Delhi) (2020), decided under section 438 CrPC (now Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023), holds that its protection can continue until the end of trial. A court may impose an appropriate time limit in special circumstances, so the ordinary rule is not an absolute prohibition on conditions.
