Question 2 of 5
2. Question
With reference to ‘Transit Anticipatory Bail’, consider the following statements
- It is sought when a case against a person has been filed in a state different from which he or she is likely to be arrested
- It is mentioned in the Code of Criminal Procedure
Select the correct statement(s)
Correct
Solution(a)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Correct Incorrect A transit anticipatory bail is sought when a case against a person has been or is likely to be filed in a state different from the one in which he or she is likely to be arrested. So the purpose of a transit bail is to allow the person bail, so they can approach the appropriate court in the state in which the case has been filed for anticipatory bail. While Section 438 does not talk about transit anticipatory bail, courts have in the past granted such a bail to those who feared arrest. For instance, in a 1985 judgment, a two-judge bench of the Bombay High Court considered the question whether Section 438 CrPC can be used by it when the case is filed in some other state. Context – Bombay High Court to hear case on Transit Anticipatory Bail

- Iron age in Southern India is more than 4000 years old
- Black and red ware pottery was introduced in the late Neolithic phase
- Mayiladumparai is an important site with cultural material dating back to the Microlithic age
Choose the correct answer using the code given below

Archaeologists also found that black and red ware pottery was introduced in the late Neolithic phase itself, rather than the widely held belief that this occurred in the Iron Age. Mayiladumparai is an important site with cultural material dating back between the Microlithic (30,000 BCE) and Early Historic (600 BCE) ages. Context – There were excavations at a site in Tamil Nadu which gave evidence of Iron usage
