The apex court noted that the court can grant anticipatory bail only when prima facie case is not made out. The key observations include — preliminary inquiry not a must into the case; No prior approval of appointing authority or senior cops required before FIRs; anticipatory bail provision not available; and courts can however quash FIRs in exceptional circumstances.
